Elixir is a dynamic, functional language for building scalable and maintainable applications. Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. Elixir is successfully used in web development, embedded software, data ingestion, and multimedia processing, across a wide range of industries. All Elixir code runs inside lightweight threads of execution (called processes) that are isolated and exchange information via messages. Due to their...

Plug is a specification and set of utilities for building composable modules in Elixir web applications. It defines a standard connection interface, allowing developers to create “plugs” that act as middleware for handling requests and responses. Examples include parsing parameters, managing sessions, logging, or authentication, all of which can be plugged into a pipeline. Plug serves as the foundation for the Phoenix framework, which builds on it to deliver a full-featured web stack. The...

Elixir Koans is an interactive learning project designed to teach the fundamentals of the Elixir programming language through a series of self-guided coding exercises. Inspired by the style of koans used in other programming communities, it provides incomplete code snippets and failing tests that learners must solve to progress. Each exercise builds on the previous one, gradually introducing core concepts such as pattern matching, recursion, processes, and concurrency in Elixir. By debugging...
