I'm currently playing around with Elixir which is a pure functional programming language with a Ruby-like syntax. In fact, it was designed by Jose Valim a well renowned Rubyist and member of the core Rails team so if you are a Rubyist or comfortable with Ruby syntax then you will feel right at home with elixir. According to Wikipedia, Elixir is a functional, concurrent, general-purpose programming language that runs on the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM). Elixir builds on top of Erlang and shares the same abstractions for building distributed, fault-tolerant applications. Elixir also provides a productive tooling and an extensible design. The latter is supported by compile-time metaprogramming with macros and polymorphism via protocols. It is a really fun language that makes functional programming enjoyable. Elixir is rapidly gaining momentum as one of the fastest growing programming languages. Companies are now using it in production and it is surprisingly mature.

Indeed, if you understand Ruby, it will be easier for you to master Elixir. Moreover, knowing both languages is a big advantage because each of them is great.

I am interested in learning Elixir programming. I know that Elixir is a young programming language and its community, the number of libraries and tools are still fewer in number than those of other popular programming languages. But Elixir will catch up with them, more time is needed.

Elixir functional programming can be utilized for various projects. The main benefit of Elixir in this regard is that it doesn’t serve any particular niche. This coding language, together with its Phoenix framework, can be utilized to build applications for any industry.

I suggest you should take a look at this article https://mlsdev.com/blog/elixir-programming-facts-to-know-for-better-app-development to find out more details on the Elixir programming language.
