Hello all! Ciao a tutti!

I’m Markus, a hobbyist programmer from Finland. I’ve been looking for a nice backend language to replace PHP for some time, and was considering Rust, but Elixir/Phoenix looks like a much better option when ultimate performance isn’t really needed.

p.s. no, I’m not Italian, I just love languages - both natural languages and programming languages [and especially Italian, perché è la lingua più bella del mondo.]

Ciao Markus, benvenuto nel forum!
P.S. Shouldn’t we ask Jose to change Elixir with Elisír? :wink:

Hello and welcome Geraldine! As long as you wear a good kn95 mask, respect the correct distance avoiding crowded areas and keep a healthy hands hygiene I’d say you can get out for a nice walk with no fear, of course if you are not under strict lockdown. Even only half an hour of sun light is enough to produce your daily amount of vitamin D. Stay safe and enjoy the forum, this community is one of the best in many ways :smile:

Hi Everyone! :wave:

I’m Jason, currently based in Hong Kong. Discovered and fell in love with Elixir a couple of years ago and cannot imagine my life without it. My first “real” Elixir project was an entry to a Tokyo transit data competition called TransitHQ. It’s a Google Directions-like API for the Tokyo train system powered by Elixir/Phoenix and Neo4j. It was a really challenging and fun project and even won an award! :blush:

(shameless plug) I work in a small software agency doing NodeJS/Vue/React Native projects but would LOVE to do some Elixir projects :grin:

Looking forward to learning from all of you and hopefully contribute in the future. Stay safe!

Jason
