Elixir - the most important programming language in your toolbelt

Elixir - the most important programming language in your toolbelt by Jonathan Stiansen Elixir is a wonderful mix of old and new. It has an established, battle hardened, VM and an amazing new developer experience. Elixir works well for everything from embedded systems to building productive distributed web apps. It has arguably the most robust runtime, and a uniquely good developer experience. It was created from a Ruby on Rails core maintainer, Jose Valim, and has a goal of programmers achieving a "joy of programming™" (from ruby) without many of Ruby's downsides. You'll hear why Elixir is an excellent choice for both the developer and the business - and have time to grill me to ask about the downsides. Join us on Meetup! - https://www.meetup.com/YYC-dev/
