Keynote: Pilgrim's Progress to the Promised Land
summary
Elixir runs on the BEAM/OTP stack and is designed for lightweight concurrency, fault tolerance and continuous operation; examples include Phoenix and Cowboy and production systems running millions of processes. The development path highlights immutable data, pattern matching, recursion, and using OTP behaviors like the gen_server behavior and supervisors to implement a let it crash recovery model. Tooling for live inspection includes observer and recon and the result is systems that handle load and recover in production.
