A sip of elixir

This document introduces functional programming concepts using the Elixir programming language. It summarizes that Elixir is a dynamic and functional language that runs on the Erlang VM and is designed for fault tolerance and distribution. It emphasizes immutable state, recursion over loops, and passing functions as first-class citizens. The document provides examples of communication between processes, static and dynamic typing in Elixir, and building fault-tolerant applications using supervisors. It encourages learning Elixir through patience and finding the right learning method.
