Last week at a local tech meetup, I presented a quick 6-minute lightning talk on Elixir. In it, I quickly implemented the infamous FizzBuzz programming challenge in Elixir. While doing so, I briefly demonstrated some of the things I like about Elixir such as:

Pattern matching

Function overloading

Guard clauses

Multiple shortcuts for function definitions

Here’s the final code of my implementation in case you’re interested:
