My favorite part about Elixir is that as soon as you document your code with comments and examples of how to use it, examples become automation tests magically. No more "outdated comments" problem - CI shows them as failed tests! This is a brilliant solution!! For sure you have a pretty formatted documentation website generated with just one CLI command. And I don't even mention method overloading, guard clauses, awesomeness of pattern matching, etc.

[SurajThapar]

Worth mentioning — Elixir's support for documentation as a first-class citizen.

Didn't know anything about Elixir until now but seems like a really cool language!
Would love to see 100 seconds videos on F#, Scala and Clojure in the future

[guilhermebalog]

As brazilian developer, it's very inspiring to see Elixir in this level of popularity.

Your videos are awesome!

[ericg]

There's so much more awesomeness in Elixir 100 seconds doesn't do it justice.
So many layers of Elixir / Erlang deserve their own 100 second videos.

This is the only coding channel that I have to slow down vs speed up and I love it 😂

[krztsztofdziub]

1:39 just a note that when atoms are used as map keys the syntax can be simplified to: map = %{a: 1, b: 2}

[benjaminsanglitan]

Elixir's standard library, especially the OTP ones, is so expansive that I often don't need to rely on third party libs. A really powerful and elegant language.

Elixir is easily my favorite programming language and I’ve been asking for a Fireship video on it for years; I’m so happy to see this! 😄

[ElGnomistico]

Just for public knowledge, the name José in Portuguese is pronounced very similarly to Joseph, just without the "-f" sound at the end, and not like "Hosé" as it is pronounced in Spanish. Most Portuguese phonemes are actually pretty different from its Spanish counterparts.

The pipe syntax in elixir is one of the most satisfying ways to program

[IngwiePhoenix]

Like the little touch at the end of using the pipe operator for the like and subscribe text ^^
Great video! The language is inspired by Ruby but unlike many others. A great piece of language that I think deserves a bit more attention.

[simondoesstuff]

A video on functional languages in general would be cool

[angelicking]

I have a Elixir coding test for a job, I am surprised by how quick you explained the concepts succinctly and concisely that it made Elixir look a lot less intimidating

[iaaf]

Pretties and most professional language I've seen until now.

[quantum_dongle]

Hell yes. Can we get a BEAM/ ERLANG/ Joe Armstrong redpill video?

[ItsMeChillTyme]

I love how so many people start learning programming with OOP languages and then watch how Functional-esque languages work and go, "wait a minute, that's how it should be? that makes so much sense!"

[isofruitfruit]

Man, wish you would cover nim, it's a language I picked up a couple months ago, first time I started actually liking static typing

[TheEmolano]

This looks really cool for something I've never heard about before. Bonus point since it's from my country lol

[icarojose]

Thanks, another language for my resume
