I've just recently started learning Elixir and have really been enjoying it.

Subjectively speaking, I really like the terse yet expressive syntax. It's also nice to have a smaller codebase.

There's an awesome package that creates HTML docs out of your comments. It's really useful for creating documentation on the fly. Elixir's official docs are made this way.

I'm about halfway through a course I think is very good for beginner-level programmers (https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix-bootca...).

Elixir School is also a good resource.

Phoenix shows a lot of promise too, I haven't taken to JS so it would be good not to have to use it as much as possible.

I really rate https://elixirforum.com although for some reason Google never seems to find results on it even when there are lots of relevant examples.

I signed up for the digest there and it's one of the few "bulk" emails I get that I actually read.

thanks ill check it out!
