Coming from an OO background, I never really understood how Elixir was concurrent until I took a deeper dive into the Erlang VM––the BEAM. This article breaks down how the BEAM provides Elixir with concurrency, with a little bit of history and the help of some laundry (seriously).

Hi all, I’m currently learning Elixir and wrote a three series blog post about my implementation of the Huffman compression algorithm!
Part 1 - Data Structures
Part 2 - Compression
Part 3 - Decompression
Let me know if you have any feedback. Thanks for looking!

@nickdichev Great articles! Loved how they flowed!
For note, Instead of String.split("go go gophers", "") |> Enum.filter(fn x -> x != "" end) in part 2 you can instead do String.split("go go gophers", "", trim: true) to get the same result a bit faster.

Thanks for looking and thanks for the tip! That is a nice optimization. I patched my source and updated the blog post!

I just published a blog post about Elixir Broadway: https://blog.kujuahub.com/2019/05/23/elixir-broadway.html
It has an extensive sample you can download here

Elixir Broadway is based on GenServer
Small correction for the sub heading, above, Broadway is based on GenStage (which you mention later in the article).
