Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications.
Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed and fault-tolerant systems, while also being successfully used in web development, embedded software, data ingestion, and multimedia processing domains.
Companies such as WhatsApp, Discord, Facebook or Riot Games are heavy users, allowing them to grow enormous and resilient distributed systems.
