I think we can remove this one.
Rebar is not as flexible as mix is, and it not part of the language or its standard toolchain.

🤔 need to come up with a different one then. It has to be exactly 6.

@ErikSchierboom @iHiD is this a true limitation?

It is. You could look at more tracks for inspiration if you'd like

Maybe something about being "battle-tested" (but in nicer, not war-related wording) about Erlang's long history of working well? Or something about Erlang being "influential" and inspiring other languages being created based on it? Or about the community?

How about "massively scalable"? That sort of touches on "battle tested" and also widens it sligthly.
This is from Erlang's website and so that scalability seems to be the first/loudest feature of the language:
Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance.

It was the Ruby track that inspired that one ;) Yeah, I’ll keep looking. --

I'd love to get this PR over the finish line. It doesn't have to be perfect, just better than what we have now which is... nothing :) What is the first thing that comes to mind that you don't hate? |

Thanks, all! I'm merging and we can do a second pass to tweak if necessary. |
Mostly taken from Elixir's Key Features list, since they're naturally going to be similar, what with Elixir being based on Erlang.
Fixes #444
