Just for fun, I thought it would be exciting to learn something new. Not just a new language, but a new paradigm of programmning. I’ve read a bit about Functional Programming over the years, and even dabbled in college with Lisp and Prolog, but I never took the deep dive… until now.
The urban legend is tall and long - Dude, one programmer on a raspberry pi hosted a billion users and the code ran for like a million years! Well, I think the hype might be exaggerated, but the truth is pretty awesome. There’s so much going on in Erlang/Elixir that at first glance it can be overwhelming for someone coming to it with zero experience. And, making matters worse, coming to it with ZERO experience with functional programming is an even larger leap.
