🔗 5 key Elixir concepts for JavaScript devs

At Revelry, we build high-performance, resilient software that stands the test of time. A key part of how we achieve this is by using the Elixir functional programming language – but of course, because we write software for the web, we also have to write JavaScript as well (although LiveView has made this significantly less painful). We’ve also trained up more than a few JavaScript developers into Elixir developers. Sometimes, these engineers struggle at first to understand some functional programming concepts – in my opinion, because JavaScript provides too many escape hatches when trying to write exclusively in this paradigm. Here are five concepts that JavaScript developers can master by learning them in Elixir.
