Even though Elixir as a language has been published only in 2011, its basis has been running in production since 1987. The functional language with a syntax similar to ruby is compiled to BEAM Bytecode, exactly as is Erlang.

Erlang, originating in the telecommunications sector of Ericsson, is being used in a whole variety of high availability solutions, e.g. CouchDB, Riak, Whatsapp.
Modern tooling around the language enables us to build scalable and maintainable software solutions. And we're having a lot of fun while doing this…
