I wouldn't call it "two languages" due to the close relationship of 
Elixir and Ruby. It would probably not entirely wrong to say that Elixir 
is Ruby running on BEAM. It's somewhat equivalent to saying that two 
languages support file inclusion `#include`, just because C and C++ both 
do [1].

[1] Yes, yes. Technically it's the preprocessor that does.
