Is it better to use Erlang or Elixir for distributed systems?

The question is about Erlang

Answer:

Elixir is often preferred over Erlang for distributed systems due to its modern syntax, extensive tooling, and active community while retaining all of Erlang’s strengths through the BEAM virtual machine. However, Erlang may still be chosen for legacy systems or projects needing its direct simplicity.
