Home Install Guides Learning Docs Blog Packages Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed and fault-tolerant systems, while also being successfully used in web development and the embedded software domain. To learn more about Elixir, check our getting started guide . Or keep reading to get an overview of the platform, language and tools. All Elixir code runs inside lightweight threads of execution (called processes) that are isolated and exchange information via messages: current_process = self () # Spawns an Elixir process (not an operating system one!) spawn_link ( fn -> send current_process , { :msg , " hello world" } end ) # Block until the message is received receive do { :msg , contents } -> IO ...

Home Getting Started Docs Blog Source Packages Elixir is a functional, meta-programming aware language built on top of the Erlang VM. It is a dynamic language that focuses on tooling to leverage Erlang's abilities to build concurrent, distributed and fault-tolerant applications with hot code upgrades. To install Elixir or learn more about it, check our getting started guide . We also have online documentation available and a Crash Course for Erlang developers . Or you can just keep on reading for a few code samples! defmodule Hello do IO . puts "Defining the function world" def world do IO . puts "Hello World" end IO . puts "Function world defined" end Hello . world Running the program above will print: Defining the function world Function world defined Hello World This allows a module to be defined in terms of many expressions, prog...
