3 key differences between Elixir and Ruby?

  1. No return - it is a challenge at first,
    but very rewarding once you learn to live without it.

  2. No member variables or inheritance - all the parameters to your function are explicitly passed in, much clearer!

  3. Library ecosystem built for concurrency - ever been bitten by a Gem that wasn’t threadsafe? Works in dev/test then fails when running in Puma. Not in Elixir :smile:
