Elixir
Elixir is a dynamic, functional programming language that runs on the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM). It was created to build distributed, fault-tolerant, and scalable applications. Some of its main features include pattern matching, concurrency, metaprogramming, and the ability to leverage the vast ecosystem of Erlang libraries and tools. Elixir’s syntax is similar to Ruby, but it is built on top of Erlang’s battle-tested and well-established infrastructure, making it a powerful choice for building reliable and high-performance systems.
This section will discuss the history behind Elixir, its installation and configuration, usage of the most relevant IDEs with their respective extensions, syntax, data structures, methods, some of the most used libraries, its most relevant use cases, and more.
