Elixir
An elegant, thoughtful, concurrent & fault tolerant programming language
Elixir is a functional, compiled, dynamically typed programming language, designed for buliding scalable and maintainable networked applications.
Elixir targets the Erlang VM, and it compiles down to same BEAM bytecode Erlang does, so Elixir can freely call Erlang code, and vice-versa.
Elixir is not just a programming language. It includes novel libraries, an excellent package manager and build tool (mix).
Tools — elixir (script runner), elixirc (compiler), iex (interactive shell) and mix (project management)
Code — a collection of expressions form a module, and a collection of modules form an app
Tools
mix is Elixir's default project management tool
Create a new library project
Create a new supervised, `startable` application project
Start application at current directory, then enter its interactive shell
