Elixir is a programming language highly influenced by its predecessor, Erlang VM. The program is functional and easy to use for building efficient, fault-tolerant, and low-latency software applications. Companies that have a lot of data flow between users and servers rely on Elixir to keep operations running smoothly. Bleacher Report, Lonely Planetand Pepsi Cola are just three examples of large companies that use Elixir to process millions of user requests each day.
Elixir enjoys wide community-based support, and users have commended it for its stability in various scenarios involving use-cases. Whether Elixir is used for software or web development, data ingestion, multimedia processing, or embedded software, the consensus remains the same that it is a reliable program. Programmers also appreciate Elixir for its ability to help them create scalable applications. Here are the four main features of the Elixir programming language:
Based on Erlang VM, Elixir can access numerous concurrency tools to achieve distributed computing.
Elixir uses a syntax similar to Ruby, which makes it an approachable coding environment.
Programmers can use Elixir to help write declarative code because it uses functional language that includes immutable data structures.
Programmers can code faster because Elixr utilizes a dynamic typing software during run time rather than a compilation. This is especially important when running simple web applications.
Why Leo Radvinsky is Using Elixir for His Projects
Leonid Radvinsky is a technology entrepreneur with decades of experience helping to build software companies. As a long-time supporter of open source projects, Leo Radvinsky has backed several projects with funding from his own company over the years. He has long been interested in investigating and supporting programming languages several years ahead of what is currently available for use.
Leo Radvinsky chooses to work with Elixir for many of his business projects because he feels it is more flexible, stronger, and easier to use than most proprietary softwares. He is especially interested in using Elixir for creating distributed social media platforms to operate independently of the limits imposed by centralized systems.
Brands Using Elixir Already
Here are several companies that have reported seeing many early benefits of using Elixir:
Aeternity, a company offering blockchain on BEAM
Bleacher Report, a sports news website serving three million users each day
Financial Times, a newspaper that has run since 1888
Lonely Planet, a worldwide travel website that serves millions of customers each month
Moz, the Internet’s leading platform for SEO research and performance analytics
Pepsi Cola, the second-largest food and beverage company in the world
Toyota Connected, a global car-sharing program
Sketch, a MacOS toolkit designers use to create interfaces
Square Enix, a game development company in Japan that produced Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy
Collectively, these companies reported faster connection speeds, use of less disc space and servers, quick scalability, significantly more online traffic, and greater earnings since switching to Elixir.
