Thoughts On Elixir: Pros And Cons Of The Most Popular Tool For High-Load Dev

[plotnick]

Article about Elixir that has not a single word about Clojure. Elixir was heavily inspired by Clojure.

haven't heard about it. that sounds illogical since syntaxes are too different and Closure is not a single functional language to inspire from. Can you clarify, please?

[plotnick]

— Polymorphism and Protocols in Elixir strictly taken from Clojure
— Mix build tool inspired by Clojure’s Leiningen
— macros and metaprogramming — Clojure and other Lisps
— lazy evaluation Haskell & Clojure

Jose Valim himself have admitted publicly that Elixir largely was inspired by Clojure and syntax of course was inspired by Ruby.
