Programming Phoenix

José Valim

Elixir has been a labor of love and a project that has exceeded my wildest expectations. Elixir wouldn’t exist without the support of my partners at Plataformatec. They were the first to believe Elixir could make a dent in the world, and their investments in the community have helped Elixir grow with strength and grace.

Getting this far wouldn’t be possible without the unconditional support of my wife, Małgosia. Most of Elixir was written on a small desk placed in the corner of our bedroom. Of all the corners in the world, I can’t imagine a better one. Finally, I want to thank my parents and friends for teaching me the lessons that still guide me on this journey.
