Elixir provides a modern, more approachable syntax to Erlang's Open Telecommunication Platform (OTP). Systems such as CouchDB, Riak, WhatsApp and Discord rely on OTP to provide highly fault-tolerant and scalable systems.
Ritchie Young is a long-time Ruby developer who now works with Elixir. In this talk he'll introduce the Elixir language and examine the building blocks and the "let it crash" philosophy that make OTP systems so robust.
Note we’ll also be continuing our series on beginning web development with Elm, so be sure not to miss our celebration of languages that start with E!
