Hello Elixir World (Introductions thread)

Hi all, I’m Arif from Salatiga, Indonesia!

I’ve worked with ASP, PHP, Python, Objective-C, and Ruby/Rails over the years. After almost a decade hiatus from coding, I started learning Elixir this year—and I’m really enjoying it!

Hey, I’m Mihir, I make consumer apps (https://pawprintf.com), and I am learning Elixir as I intent to use it for a couple of projects in my pipeline. For now, I have already used Elixir / Phoenix to make Sliced Chat (https://slicedchat.com) and I’m really impressed with the tech.

Looking to connect with other devs here who would like to learn or work on something together.

Hey everyone, Nasarah here. I’m a developer from Jos, Nigeria, building security tools for devs who don’t have time for noisy scanners.

Currently learning from the community before I make anything useful — so if you’ve ever rage-quit a security tool, I’d love to hear about it.

Happy to be here!

Hi all, I’m Dave Ng from Singapore. Have been tinkering with Elixir in a non-work capacity for several years and love it. Always trying to find a project I can do using Elixir. Happy to chat.

Hi everyone, I’m Alex from Trieste, Italy. 40 years in IT, managing infrastructure for Port Terminals. After many years with imperative and object-oriented languages, I discovered Elixir and fell in love with it. Currently building a visual Flow-Based Programming framework on Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView. Excited to finally join the conversation here.

Hello everyone. A (re)introduction. I’ve been flirting with Elixir for years. But now that AI coding is here (whether or not you’re ready), I’m excited about getting back into IC development. (Mostly working as a Team lead these days).

Obscure aspects of Elixir I’m interested in. Lua-erl scripting support, Real-time apps, Hot-code reload (wish this was better, to be honest), Notebooks.

For me, Liveview was one of those “whoa” moments. And this video of course => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4XBdoUE (Soul of Elixir). They deeply inspired me to keep checking out Elixir.

Hey everyone . Ashbin here, from Nepal.
I have been a long time admirer of elixir and FP in general and finally dived a little into elixir roughly a year back. Its been a fun ride and am really enjoying language features, binary pattern matching being a very unique one.
Elixir ecosystem in large also seems very coherent and easy to follow through, perhaps due to DSLs looking like first class language feature so thanks to everyone for making it possible.
As of recent, I was doing some Advent of Code and the protohackers challenge utilizing elixir.
[Also a long time lurker in here, but had forgot to introduce myself, thanks to the extra entries in the book giveaways for reminding me to introduce myself ]

Hi I’m Matt Beanland, new to Elixir early this year, I live in the Adelaide Hills, Australia. I am into autonomous networks and work at Telstra on innovation and shared tech to enable our many and varied network domains. I was drawn to Ash given its declarative nature and have contributed a Neo4j datalayer and an extension for my Outstanding protocol for evaluating whether goals are met. See diffo.dev · GitHub.

Lastly I wanted to say thanks to the Elixir community - you are amazing both technically and in how welcoming you are to newcomers.

Hi all,

Pretty new to Elixir but I’m really into networks and functional programming, so I’m really finding a home in it. I thought it was time to get to know the community a bit better and that a small intro wouldn’t go amiss. Thanks for all the high-quality stuff people are doing in the ecosystem. It’s really impressive so far

Hey everyone!

I’ve been using Elixir on and off for about two years now — learning the language, exploring the ecosystem, and getting familiar with its strengths. But up until now, most of my work has been learning and experimenting in the background.

I’m finally shifting my focus toward building real projects with Elixir — especially around web apps, automation, and distributed systems. I’ve always been drawn to the elegance of the language, the power of the BEAM, and the developer experience, so it feels like the right time to go all in.

I joined the forum to engage more with the community, learn from others, and share my journey as I go. Looking forward to connecting!
