I am very glad that I made the decision to pick Elixir as my next language instead of other options in the pool.<p>Elixir is fantastic. Erlangs concurrency model takes some time to get used to but is something I&#x27;ve never seen before. Things like state is managed in a separate server process or the ease of building fault tolerant systems with supervision trees.<p>Plus, for me the best part, Elixir is just &quot;fun&quot; to write. I didn&#x27;t have this much fun writing software since I first started with programming years ago.<p>If anyone is looking to get started, check out the book &quot;Elixir in Action&quot;. Great book that brings you up to speed with Elixir, OTP, process handling and a little bit of inner workings.
