Sounds to me like they mean “BEAM” rather than a specific language. But BEAM means Elixir for most newcomers.

Which is a real shame as if you actually spend some time with both you’ll probably eventually realise erlang is the nicer language.

Elixir just feels… Like it’s a load of pre-compile macros. There’s not even a debugger.
