# Getting Started with Elixir
|
|
|
|
Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. It leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems.
|
|
|
|
## Key Features
|
|
|
|
- **Functional Programming**: Immutable data and pattern matching
|
|
- **Scalability**: Built on the Erlang VM for concurrent processing
|
|
- **Fault Tolerance**: Supervisor trees and the "let it crash" philosophy
|
|
- **Developer Productivity**: Powerful metaprogramming and a helpful compiler
|
|
|
|
## Basic Syntax
|
|
|
|
```elixir
|
|
defmodule Greeting do
|
|
def hello(name) do
|
|
"Hello, #{name}!"
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
IO.puts Greeting.hello("World")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pattern Matching
|
|
|
|
One of Elixir's most powerful features is pattern matching:
|
|
|
|
```elixir
|
|
# Assign value
|
|
x = 1
|
|
|
|
# Pattern matching
|
|
{a, b, c} = {:hello, "world", 42}
|
|
|
|
# Pattern matching in function definitions
|
|
def process({:ok, result}), do: result
|
|
def process({:error, reason}), do: raise(reason)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The Pipe Operator
|
|
|
|
Elixir's pipe operator (`|>`) allows for clean, readable code:
|
|
|
|
```elixir
|
|
"Elixir rocks!"
|
|
|> String.upcase()
|
|
|> String.split()
|
|
|> Enum.count()
|
|
```
|
|
|
