Ruby syntax on the BEAM — let-it-crash processes with modern ergonomics; Phoenix made the fault-tolerant web fashionable.

Influenced by Erlang Ruby
Created by José Valim

José Valim's Elixir (2012) — Ruby's syntax on Erlang's VM — brought the actor model to the modern web: Phoenix, LiveView, and fault-tolerant web apps.\n\nIt is the BEAM's second life and the argument that concurrency primitives matter more than syntax.
