Hello, Iām Bernardo Amorim from Brazil. Iāve been working with Elixir full time at Stone Pagamentos for almost 2 years. We are using Elixir to disrupt the banking industry here. I gave some talks about Elixir, Domain Events, Event Sourcing, CQRS and Domain Driven Design some times. Recently I started being more active in this forum (first as mainly a reader) and now Iāll try to post more often.

Hello everyone 
Iām Jean Lucas, love Elixir and itās my hobby language that I use when I have free time and on my side projects 
Had the chance to meet the language in 2016, when visited Plataformatecās HQ when they were near Av Paulista in Brazil and still in love with all the ecosystem around it!

Hi. Anton here coming from Russia.
What can I tell you out of the million things that I can tell?
Right, the most relevant stuff.
I like FP and I like the following languages: Haskell, Elm and Elixir.
I think Iām getting to the intermediate stage of learning FP.
P.S. as always there is something to add when you actually press that reply button.
I love bulletproof coffee (coffee with butter and mct oil), I like biohacking, I love learning natural languages, particularly French at the moment. I would like if someone here is a French and would like to connect, of if you are learning French I would like to connect as well. You can call me an expert in the field of searching and information organization. For example, I keep a collection of my bookmarks which grew to 17k over 15 years period. And itās very well organized and yes I do have too much time on my hands. Well, I can add more, but you have other business to attend to : )
Itās exciting that I can use Elixir for UI with Scenic.

Could you please share the materials you used to migrate from Laravel to Elixir? Iām on the same path but I find it too difficult to achieve this goal.
7 Likes
Iām on the same track and the materials Iāve been using the most are:
All of those are free, except for the Programming Phoenix book. Exercism is just amazing for building self confidence!
I guess that for a Laravel dev what most bridges the gap is the Phoenix book. Thatās really in our comfort zone - just read it after grasping the basics

Hello, I have only just joined but have read topics around here for a few years and learned a lot doing so. I tend to be the kind of person who lurks on the outside but since I have joined I felt I should introduce myself and say hello. So yeah my name is Toby, Iām from Scotland, I come from a background mainly in C# with azure related technologies and typescript + react as front end technologies. I have long had a bit of interest in Erlang (and a few FP languages in terms of concepts rather than use in anger) but never properly gotten into it, over the last couple of years focused a lot of my spare time on Elixir as something that I felt had all the promising elements of Erlang and overcome some of the things I saw at the time as sticking points (some of those things might be lack of experience or may have since improved). More recently managed to bring a little bit of Elixir adoption into my workplace which so far has been a generally positive experience.
