Elixir em Foco is the podcast of the Brazilian community of Elixir, the programming language created by Brazilian José Valim that is used by companies around the world to develop scalable and easy-to-maintain applications. Elixir runs on the Erlang virtual machine, known for enabling the creation of low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. These features, combined with Elixir’s tools, allow developers to be productive in a variety of domains, such as web development, embedded software, machine learning, data pipelines, and multimedia processing, across a wide range of industries.
At Elixir em Foco, we mainly talk to people from the Brazilian community of Elixir software developers, but we also make room for people who work with other languages such as Erlang, Gleam, Clojure, Lean, Quint, and others.
