Introduction to Elixir

[@chrissphinx]

for anyone following along with this tutorial, the syntax used @7:14 has changed to func = &(&1 + &2)

[@Jincheker]

The best Elixir introduction by far. I hope Dave could start recording more videos than writing books

[@KiffinGish]

Never thought learning a new programming language could be so fun.

[@Stylii666]

Dave, you truly are an excellent teacher. Thank you.

Nice intro and very very noteworthy language. I would argue that pattern matching doesn’t eliminate “conditional logic”, rather its a different way than “if statements “ to express conditional logic, a more readable way IMO.

The syntax for sending a message has been changed to: pid = spawn S, :greet, [] send pid , :greetings Also if this still not working you might better check if your process stills alive like this: Process.alive? pid

[@hipertracker]

The bytecode of the function is for a reason. It is serialized version of the function which can be send across the distributed network. The video was created long ago. Dynamo is dead. The main web framework using Elixir is Phoenix.

Thanks Dave! Interesting presentation! I got to meet you once upon a time in one of the early PragProg Rails courses. Glad to see you are still on the language cutting-edge!

[@jonatasdp]

Thank you Dave! Awesome explanation! I'm just dreaming about it. It's a really cool language.

So far, 15:00 minutes in, Elixir is just a cuter Prolog. Nice of them to bring in unification from Prolog

That is pretty amazing about code reloading. I didn’t know using a the module name caused beam to use the newer version of the module.

[@akindurosegun2459]

I am currently reading the book “programming elixir “ did you write that?

[@skyline00069]

What Mac OS Version is this? This gives me nostalgia. Still great introduction!

[@adityanr5654]

I believe this is OS X version

[@vijayshan2007]

The syntax for sending messages has changed from pid

[@GeoffTidey]

Why's this video 'unlisted'? I can't play it on my TV :(

[@SimonJakobi]

I think I've found it already. It's Monaco, right?

[@human417]

25:10 you read my mind

[@SimonJakobi]

What's that font you're using?

[@adityanr5654]

Older versions of OS X used Monaco as default font in text editors. Modern Mac OS uses Menlo as default in some editors
