I recently decided to learn Elixir because I had heard good things about it from happy Elixir developers. It was the first functional language I learned and I found its concurrency model to be particularly interesting. I don't think it's a language that will solve everything, but it certainly seems to excel in its specialty, which is concurrency and robustness. I'm looking forward to learning Phoenix, which will allow me to develop web applications in Elixir. If anyone is interested in Elixir, I've been regularly writing about Elixir as I've been learning it at https://inquisitivedeveloper.com/ https://inquisitivedeveloper.com/. The idea is that you can learn Elixir along with me as I learn it and write about it. I make some comparisons to Javascript and C#, as those are the languages I use most often at work. I was expecting to encounter a lot of very unfamiliar concepts, but to my surprise, I was already familiar with most of them. I guess my experience with the functional aspects of C# and libraries like Bacon.js and Rambda in Javascript really prepared me well for moving to a functional language.
