Hello Elixir World!
I’m Olivier from Switzerland. I studied biology but then switched to IT business. I learned functional programming with Haskell, but now want to learn Elixir for its very nice Phoenix framework. I’ve used Ruby on Rails in the past and loved it, but I really enjoy functional programming and Phoenix/Elixir seem to bring the best of both RoR and functional programming.

Hello everyone,
I have been around for a while, but did not introduce myself yet, I am very pleased to have received MOTM this month, so it is about the time to present myself.
I am Koko from Geneva/Switzerland. I am a former chess master, turned to IT/Linux, Ruby, JS and Elixir. I got smashed by FP… so different, and yet so powerful.
I enjoy been here, trying to help if I can, but also to learn a lot from bright people hanging around.

Hi everyone,
My name is Alex, I’m from Toronto, Canada currently living in Medellin, Colombia.
I actually came from Java (Spring), and only after learning about Elixir finally bit the bullet and tried ruby as well, though I personally liked hanami more so than rails

Hello everyone
Really liking this community after a few days immersed here. I’m Tyler from Seattle these days and years back was a Prolog programmer. I remember experimenting with erlang years ago hoping to go functional in the internet world but couldn’t economically make it work. When I heard about Elixir was like THIS IS IT.. the solution! Now it’s all I want to program in.
Looking forward to many years programming with you all.
Cheers!

Hello Elixir World
I’m László from Hungary where I work remotely for a cooperative based in London called 100Starlings. I have been doing Ruby development for more than a decade and have played with Elixir for a couple years now. However, we recently started our first serious Elixir project.
Hoping to be helpful in the community.
Let me know if you’re also from Hungary.

Hey, I’m Micael from Portugal, I’ve been working with Ruby on Rails and stumbled upon elixir/erlang/functional programming somehow, read a bit, it made sense so I started learning it - I’m building a game with elixir/phoenix/vue and so far it’s been amazing - I almost don’t feel like writing ruby anymore - plus, the game is about wizardry, so elixir fits right in there with the potions and stuff
