It's used by companies like Discord to handle massive amounts of concurrent users, by Motorola to build fault tolerant and communication systems by Pinterest to scale up their real time notification system, and the Elixir based Phoenix framework is responsible for thousands of full stack web applications.
To get started, install Erlang and Elixir, then create a file ending in dotexs.
To create a variable, give it a name followed by a value.

It's dynamic, so no type annotations are necessary.
Now print it to the standard output with I o puts.
And like Ruby, parentheses are usually optional.
Alternatively, you might create an atom, which is a constant whose value is its own name.
Anonymous functions can be created with the fn keyword, which can then be assigned to variables or passed around to other functions.
And you can even simplify this expression further using the ampersand shorthand.
When working with function expressions, You can use the pipe operator to pass the value of one expression to another without the need for deeply nested function calls, create a list of items with kits or create a map to represent key value pairs.
The equal sign can be used to assign variables, but it's actually called the match operator to support pattern matching features.
For example, we might destructure a list into a set of variables.
If a pattern doesn't match, it will raise an error, and this behavior can be used to implement advanced control flow logic.
