Is it recommended that you learn Erlang before you learn Elixir, or can you jump straight into Elixir without Erlang knowledge?

- rmgraham 12y agoYou should be able to jump straight into Elixir. If anything, Elixir is probably a reasonable gateway into learning Erlang. Disclaimer: I studied Erlang before Elixir, so I don't have a fresh perspective.
- alco 12y agoErlang knowledge is not a requirement to start learning Elixir. You will end up learning about Erlang programming model anyway because Elixir builds on top of it. By "programming model" I mean things like immutability, concurrency, fault-tolerance, and the way you design systems with OTP.
