Ruby, Clojure, Elixir comparative study
summary
Claims: Ruby gives a highly dynamic runtime with method_missing and open classes that enable heavy metaprogramming but demand rigorous testing; Clojure emphasizes data-first design, concise code and macros with a REPL workflow on the JVM and often produces far less code than Elixir; Elixir runs on the Erlang VM, uses pattern matching and OTP to model dispatchers, pools and ETS-backed caches as lightweight processes, powers a real global communications system at Tonx, and the OTP design works in production.
