Subjective, but I don't think it's fair to say Elixir has a steep learning curve. It's quite readable, well documented, and has a good Repl so you can experiment. You can even view documentation in the Repl. It might depend which languages you already know, but if you've done modern JavaScript a lot of the function elements will be familiar.

I'd argue basics of Elixir are simpler than Ruby. The tricky part is OTP concepts but you can use Elixir without knowledge of that.

This is a wonderful resource:
