The phrasing is a bit odd i think. I dont think Elixir isn’t an implementation of Erlang. From the Elixir site:

> Elixir leverages the Erlang VM,

I belive the Erlang VM is called the BEAM.

> BEAM is the virtual machine at the core of the Erlang Open Telecom Platform (OTP).[1] BEAM is part of the Erlang Run-Time System (ERTS), which compiles Erlang and Elixir source code into bytecode, which is then executed on the BEAM.[2][3] BEAM bytecode files have the .beam file extension.[4]

So it would be better to maybe say Elixer and Erlang (BEAM).

And also make the reader aware that actors is also very low level form of concurrency.

my 2 cents

keep up the good work 🙂
