Elixir

Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Applications

Elixir is a functional language built for building systems that run for decades without being rewritten, while continuously adapting to your needs.

What is Elixir?

Functional

Elixir is a dynamically-typed functional language that runs on the Erlang VM, known for building systems that handle 100% availability requirements.

Concurrent

Lightweight processes for massive concurrency, with message passing for communication, making it ideal for real-time applications.

Maintainable

With pattern matching, metaprogramming, and robust tooling, Elixir helps teams build systems that evolve with business needs.

Why Elixir?
