a Guided Introduction to Elixir - Part 1 of 6
summary
Claim: get a runnable Elixir baseline fast and learn the concrete quirks that bite you. Uses IEx REPL, classroom web IDE (a token and a $5 signup shows up) and Pomodoro pacing. Covers strings vs charlists, ranges, tuples, maps, anonymous functions, modules and the pipe idiom, with live exercises that mostly compile but create map/struct confusion and occasional tooling hiccups. Exercises build tiny programs, some solutions run in the REPL, others require code fixes (map updates via immutability is a frequent surprise).
