Elixir is a rapidly growing FP language. With a syntax borrowing heavily from Ruby, a runtime that is on the Erlang BEAM, a macro system like that in Lisp and a streaming library like you might find in Haskell, Elixir borrows the best features from many environments. It’s no wonder that Elixir is one of the best paid languages in the world.

Elixir borrows from Erlang’s Let It Crash philosophy, and adds in significant improvements with structs, first-class hygenic macros, and abstractions such as protocols. Elixir remains approachable because of it’s fantastic documentation, clear error messages, and excellent tooling.
