Elixir - A modern approach to programming for the Erlang VM
Elixir is a programming language which runs on the Erlang VM. Elixir provides modern features for the Erlang VM as macro meta-programming (Elixir itself is homoiconic), protocols and namespaces.
Elixir and Erlang share the same bytecode and data types, which ensures easy-communication between Elixir and Erlang without any performance hit.
In this talk, José Valim will cover the main goals and features in Elixir using code examples while also presenting some of the rationale and changes behind the language design over the last one year.
