Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. Born from the Erlang VM, it unifies the power of functional programming with a productive developer experience.
To create a language that is both powerful and beautiful, enabling developers to build systems that run for decades without being rewritten.
Elixir is a functional, concurrent, and scalable language designed for modern applications. Built on the Erlang VM, it combines reliability and concurrency with an elegant syntax that makes programming enjoyable.
Elixir enables developers to write scalable and maintainable code with simplicity and elegance. Its powerful concurrency model and focus on immutability help build reliable systems that evolve over time.
We believe programming should be a joyful experience. Elixir is designed to help developers solve complex problems with simplicity, while maintaining the performance needed for modern infrastructure.
Elixir was created by José Valim in 2011 as a language that builds on Erlang's strengths while embracing modern developer needs for productivity and expressiveness.
The Elixir community released Phoenix, a powerful web framework that leverages Elixir's concurrency model to handle massive traffic with low latency.
The 1.10 release introduced significant improvements to the language including enhanced performance, expanded pattern matching, and better tooling for developers.
Build applications that can scale from a single server to millions of users, without rewriting your codebase.
Maintain long-running systems with confidence using fault tolerance and monitoring built into the language.
Write code that brings joy to both new and experienced developers while delivering professional-grade results.
Elixir's journey has only just begun. Whether you're using it daily or curious about its potential, help shape the next chapter.
