Elixir

Elixir is a Programming Language which uses the Erlang virtual machine - BEAM. It’s syntax was inspired by Ruby. It is considered a Functional Programming language.

Because it runs on BEAM, Elixir uses process message passing as part of the Actor Model and can be thought of as a runtime-level cousin to broker-based Messaging.

Installing on Linux:

sudo apt -y install curl git libxml2-utils fop
    git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.14.0
    KERL_BUILD_DOCS=yes asdf install erlang 26.2.1 && asdf install elixir 1.16.0-otp-26 && asdf global elixir 1.16.0-otp-26 

Sample module with method:

defmodule MyModule do
  def my_method(name) do
    IO.puts "Hello #{name}!"
  end
end
