ElixirConf 2017 - Elixir by the Bellyful - @bryanhunter
Elixir makes me happy! Since 2007 I have been on the road sharing what bits I’ve learned about Erlang, the BEAM, and OTP. It was a fun, but Quixotic decade. Folks I met saw the power, but of those thousands maybe 20 became Erlang devs. Then José arrived with Elixir and everything changed; the barriers to adoption began vanishing and waves of Ruby, Node, and .NET devs poured onto the ErlangVM.
Elixir is accessible and the community is warm, but even seasoned devs encounter lots of new and unfamiliar things (FP, processes, BEAM, OTP). The “unknowns’ leave newcomers with a thirst, and this session is a 40-minute chug-a-lug at the Intro to Elixir” firehose. It will be fun, fast-paced, broad, and deep. Afterwards Elixir will seem even more special, the ecosystem will be illuminated, and you will have the “why, what, and how” knowledge to confidently continue your Elixir journey well-hydrated and without so many “unknown unknowns.”
Audience: Beginner

This talk is so great for those wondering what the Elixir fuss is about. If these 40 minutes can’t get you excited about the language, nothing can!

Wow! Thank you all.
In November I’ll be giving a 45-minute version of this talk at FunctionalConf Bangalore. Any suggestions on the best use of those extra few minutes? I’m thinking distribution and hot-code loading, but I’m open for other ideas.

Thanks for the link to the slides and code! By the way, your talk is still one of my favorites to recommend for anyone that wants to start learning about how Beam/OTP scheduling works
