The most powerful feature of Elixir is OTP and the BEAM, both from Erlang. OTP is a framework to write distributed systems and BEAM is the virtual machine where light processes run.

Firstly because Ruby has its own advantages and different purposes, and secondly because Ruby isn't the only inspiration for Elixir.
