"a programming language built on top of Erlang. [...] The main difference between Elixir and Erlang is syntax and object orientation. Elixir provides a very simple Object Model based on prototype languages with most of its syntax based on Ruby."

Pity about the dynamism.

Nifty!

Eager to try the same in Scala.

"a resource server for the Web". My kind of jazz.

Note the handy comment from Julian Morrison.

an open-source implementation of the Map-Reduce framework for distributed computing

"a Python/Ruby-like mixed-paradigm language targeting the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM) and high-performance native compiler (HiPE)"

Hoping to not ever need this.

Katz echos what I've heard elsewhere: Erlang is great for server-side stuff but has no place on the front-end or as the "one true language" for a bi project. The memory allocation stuff is a bit shocking, though.

"Erlang version of memcached with data persistence." Except that "distributing of cached data is ensured by Erlang instead of memcached client hashing", which is kind of a bug and not a feature in certain setups.

How to call Python from Erlang.

Nice n' basic.

Lots of handy getting started/configuration tips.

"I have to confess: I really don’t like relational databases. I can’t wait for the day we can ditch them." You and me both, Tobi.

A fine intro.
