Elixir for the rubyist
summary
Elixir runs on the BEAM VM and interoperates with Erlang and OTP while adding Ruby-like syntax and features. It demonstrates a working anagram finder built with Enum.group_by, shows the pipeline operator for readable data flows, uses multiple function heads, guard clauses and macros, and highlights concurrency where you can spawn 100,000 lightweight processes managed by the VM. Examples include a declarative Fibonacci and a file-based anagram search; code compiles to BEAM bytecode and leverages OTP supervision for restarts.
