Well echoing what the author wrote - it’s quite easy to learn Elixir.

We have a new guy who started a bit less than a month ago.

He’s now already writing functional Elixir (no pun intended) and contributing to big code base.

One of the first things I told him is that “there is no magic in elixir”. What you see is what you get.

If you understand that everything is literally a function - life is easy and using the language becomes fun.
