Keynote: Elixir Should Take Over the World
summary
Claim: Elixir combines immutable data flow and namespaced code organization with the actor model running on the BEAM to get isolation, restart logic and real failure handling via supervision trees. Tools named: Erlang, Phoenix, Elm style frontends, GraphQL, QuickCheck and QuickCheck CI. Evidence: 290 people commit to Elixir 1.1, demos show persistent connections and microservice orchestration, a live actor exercise loses two actors but five complete the task and deliver a banana, proving the approach survives partial failure.
