ELIXIR INTRODUCTION TO
SHEHARYAR NASEER sheharyarn
STORY TIME
- Rails is Immensely Popular - Developer productivity is through
the roof - But has concurrency issues - José Valim to make it threadsafe BACK IN THE DAY
- Can never fully guarantee it - Looked towards Functional
Languages - Erlang! THREADSAFE RAILS
- Fast and Powerful - Immutable - Fault-tolerant - Concurrent
and Distributed ERLANG-LOVE
JOSÉ VALIM I liked everything I saw in Erlang, but
hated the things I didn’t see “
- Awful Syntax - Lack of Metaprogramming - No Polymorphism
- No proper build tools ERLANG-HATE
Decided to build his own language on the ERLANG VM
ELIXIR IS BORN
ELIXIR-LANG.COM A dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and
maintainable applications “

METAPROGRAMMING - via Macros - Elixir is written in Elixir!
- Almost everything is a Macro def, defmodule, if-else, and, or, !, |>, and so much more
defmacro macro_unless(clause, expression) do quote do if(!unquote(clause), do: unquote(expression)) end
end METAPROGRAMMING
$ mix new my_app $ mix deps.get $ mix test
$ mix run $ iex -S mix MIX
THE FUTURE
- Growing at an amazing rate - Backed by major
players from Rails, Erlang & Node.js communities - Erlang libraries at disposal COMMUNITY
- Elixir’s Rails - Super-fast and developer-friendly - Requests completed
in microseconds (µs) - Tons of guides and resources already available PHOENIX FRAMEWORK
- PHP with Open Source - Rails with Developer Productivity
- Elixir with Performance (without sacrificing developer happiness) THE NEXT REVOLUTION
- Official Website (elixir-lang.com) - Awesome Books - Elixir in
Action - Programming Elixir - Screencasts - Elixir Sips (elixirsips.com) - Learn Elixir (learnelixir.tv) RESOURCES
