How to define recursive anonymous function in Elixir?
How can I define the recursive anonymous function in Elixir? In Erlang, I can write:
1> F = fun X([]) -> []; X([H|T]) -> [H+1|X(T)] end.
#Fun<erl_eval.20.79398840>
2> F([5,41,13]).
[6,42,14]
I can’t find in documentation a way how to write a similar function in Elixir.

I’m not sure I follow honestly. Could you give a more realistic example of what you’re trying to do if the above was too trivial?

In elixir, unlike in Erlang, you can define modules in the shell. So when you do need to write a recursive function you can do
iex> defmodule Rec do
...> def recurse([]), do: []
...> def recurse([h | t]), do: [h + 1 | recurse(t)]
...> end
