Elixir

About

José Valim was a core contributor to Ruby on Rails when he began exploring the Erlang virtual machine. What started as a research project became Elixir — a language designed for scalability, fault tolerance, and developer happiness. This film follows Valim's journey from Rails contributor to language creator, and the community that formed around a new way of thinking about concurrent systems.
