This was actually my path. I started working on side projects and picked Elixir because I had my eyes on it for a few years and wanted to give it a shot.
Simple Phoenix server that made requests to third party API endpoints.

I don't think I referred to any Erlang code and just picked up Elixir. Ultimately, you will have to pick up some Erlang but you can get away with just Elixir for a long time.
