Jose Valim is well known as a Web developer, consultant, and open-source contributor. He’s now also known for being the inventor of a new programming language known as Elixir, which combines many of the semantics of Ruby with the distributed, fault-tolerant nature of Erlang. In this talk, Valim describes some of the most common idioms used by programmers working with Elixir, and how they can ensure that our Web applications are as robust as possible.
