I’m Marcelo from Fortaleza, Brazil.

There go 24 years working as a developer, from good old Clipper days and then Delphi, PHP, Java, Python, and Ruby, finally I found the one to be called the best: Elixir. Not for the language only, but the community is also the most awesome I’ve got to participate.

I currently work as Technical Lead in a Java team as my day job. Using Elixir in a side project for consuming a famous betting site socket based public data streaming API.

Hello ,

  • I`m Reidar from Norway. I have been programming c-c++ since 1997. c# from 2009 and Elixir since last month.
  • I am gradually taking the steps in to embracing web development to get my applications out to the “masses”.
  • I tested out javascript, nodejs, but to be honest I find the entire front end world to be a brutal bloated mess of framework and opinions.
    -Elixir - Phoenix is a pleasant departure from that norm.

I am truly happy to have found Elixir and the friendly community

Hello from Finland!

Seems I’m the first Finnish person to report in this thread. I’m Mikko Ahlroth, a 20-something web developer from Tampere. I’m a full time programmer and just finishing my master’s degree in distributed systems. At work I mostly currently use Python and Django on the backend and AngularJS on the frontend.

On my free time I work on Elixir projects usually, mostly web related. I’ve written a blog engine and a coding statistics website with the Phoenix Framework and am excited to work with it in the future too. Maybe I can over time hone my skills enough to get to use it at work as well.

Nice to meet everyone of you! You can also find me on #elixir-lang @ Freenode with the nickname Nicd-.

Arjun from India, just starting with Elixir.

Currently in the process of becoming a full stack web developer, and I’ll be dabbling with Elixir for now in my free time. Eventually, I’ll be able to focus more on it and do something serious!

Hi, Im Abdul Muhaimin from Malaysia.
Previously I was a Civil Engineer, but already quit my job. Boring job.

Im a newbie in programming. Started around 4 month ago in Ruby. It was a coding bootcamp which was held in my country. After finishing the bootcamp last month, I decided to started learning elixir.
I am hoping that elixir is more recognized in my region. And I will certainly contribute toward that direction

Hi, I’m Marcus from Dortmund, Germany.

I fell in love with functional programming when i learned Lisp. A long time ago. After that I have worked with Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, JS, C# and other languages to earn money.

After work I always search for the next language I could learn. So far I have take a look to Objective-C, Swift, Scala, Haskell and Clojure.

And now Elixir. And elixir will be better with every page I read about it.
