I won't be a dick about programming languages... I just find I usually like PHP the least and I enjoyed Elixir the _most_.

I've also had the opportunity to do much more work in PHP. So, there's a very real possibility that familiarity breeds contempt.

...

I wanna work in Elixir again. <sigh> The standard libraries/modules made more sense and were so much more consistent.
