Introduction to Elixir

Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications.

Key Features:

  • Runs on the Erlang VM (BEAM)
  • Highly concurrent and fault-tolerant
  • Functional programming
  • Pattern matching
  • Metaprogramming with macros

Hello World:

IO.puts("Hello, Elixir!")

Variables and Basic Types:

name = "Elixir"
age = 13
pi = 3.14
is_functional = true
atom = :ok
