Session: Elixir - A modern approach to programming for the Erlang VM
Friday 13.00 - 13.50
Room: Nyan Cat
Elixir is a programming language for the Erlang VM. Elixir provides a first class macro mechanism, supports polymorphism via protocols (similar to Clojure's) and many other features while keeping the functional aspects of Erlang used to build distributed, fault-tolerant applications.
In this talk, José Valim will cover the main goals and features in Elixir while also presenting some of the rationale and changes behind the language design and its latest tools.
