Why You Should Take This Course

Why should we learn Elixir?

Whenever we look for a new language to learn, several questions arise in our minds. But the answers are most likely related to our career goals or a required project. Here are the few things that we want in our chosen language:

• It’s easy to use.
• It’s rewarding for our career progression.
• It ensures we grow as programmers.
• It has a range of helpful tooling.
• It has the ability to meet modern user demands.

The Elixir programming language provides all the above benefits and can also make us better programmers in other languages. It wraps functional programming with an immutable state. It’s an actor-based approach to concurrency in a tidy, modern syntax. And it runs on the industrial-strength, high-performance, distributed Erlang VM (virtual machine). But what does all that mean?
