Granted. I guess it boils down to degree of 'Lisp-like' when talking macros. Another article on HN today about Racket, Template Haskell and macros. I think the whole idea is that Haskell doesn't really need them, since it has other ways of achieving similar ends thereby making TH macros a bad fit for Haskell.
I like Elixir a lot, but I have the luxury of not depending on coding for a living, so I am learning LFE because I like how it is as much a Lisp as it can be when constrained by the BEAM. Truthfully, I could stay away from all of the distributed languages like Erlang, Elixir, LFE, Pony and others, since I don't really have a use for them (yet - looking at ABM Agent-Based Modeling).
But I keep at LFE by trying to duplicate the book 'The Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang'. There are at least a couple of other people who have started it in LFE and the other in Elixir. A good fit for ANNs.
