I stumbled onto an Elixir article a few months back (on HN) and was enchanted by it, ever since then I have been banging away in my free time at Elixir books and tutorials, finished intro to Elixir last night and half way through Programming Elixir.<p>It is a super exciting language to learn and those moments where the ball finally drops on concepts like pattern matching are glorious, it has reignited that magical feeling of being some sort of tech wizard that I first got when I started programming as a child!<p>Anyway, enough of the gospel of Elixir, I too look forward to seeing how it&#x2F;Erlang develop and feel like it is already getting some noteworthy traction.<p>P.S. I also scan HN daily for anything Erlang&#x2F;Elixir, and frequency of posts seem to be increasing.
