Computers - Software Hardware : Elixir Programming Language

[Gorilla]

There's a fun new functional programming language out there:

Elixir is a functional, meta-programming aware language built on top of the Erlang VM. It is a dynamic language with flexible syntax and macro support that leverages Erlang's abilities to build concurrent, distributed and fault-tolerant applications with hot code upgrades.

Elixir also provides first-class support for pattern matching, polymorphism via protocols (similar to Clojure's), aliases and associative data structures (usually known as dicts or hashes in other programming languages).

Looks very interesting. I heard of it but haven't seen much of this language in years. Don't know when I'll get a chance to experiment with it. I'll have to gather up the Erlang resources and such.

I assume you're a programmer. What languages do you use? Have you used Elixir?

I don't really consider myself a programmer.

I mostly fiddle with C and Python.


I have not got a chance to mess with Elixir yet, but I'll probably do so eventually.

Nice! I'm mostly a novice in C and Python. I know HTML, CSS, XHTML, Javascript, some PHP.

Long time developer but not for the last few years. Hadn't heard about Elixir. I'd like to compare it with Java and C++. I wonder if it would have universal appeal?
