José Valim and friends answer most searched Elixir questions
summary
Answers common Elixir questions with concrete claims: the BEAM uses a per-process garbage collector, Elixir is a functional, fast language that produces maintainable, productive code, and strings are valid UTF-8 by default. Recommended tooling includes Phoenix for web and Nerves for embedded; Elixir excels for anything that “runs on top of a socket” — low‑level binary protocols, HTML/JSON web apps and distributed systems all work and are shown with practical examples.
