Elixir is the perfect choice for mission-critical software. Its fault-tolerance and concurrency capabilities let it seamlessly handle huge numbers of users and data, and its functional programming mindset means Elixir applications are predictable, readable, and easy to maintain. Start coding in Elixir, and you'll get instant access to the battle-tested Erlang virtual machine that powers this awesome language, along with Elixir's own thriving ecosystem of resources. It's the reliable solution you need for everything from a large-scale distributed system to a simple web app. Elixir is a modern functional programming language for building large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant, scalable systems for the Erlang virtual machine (VM). Although the language is compelling in its own right, arguably, its biggest advantage is that it targets the Erlang platform. Elixir aims to modernize and improve the experience of developing Erlang-powered systems. The language is a compilation of features from various other languages, such as Erlang, Clojure, and Ruby. Furthermore, Elixir ships with a toolset that simplifies project management, testing, packaging, and documentation building. Arguably, Elixir lowers the entry barrier into the Erlang world and improves developer productivity.
