In the video LoneStarRuby Conf 2013 – Elixir: Power of Erlang, Joy of Ruby by Dave Thomas, Bob and Doug McKenzie are two of fictional Canadian actors who were featured in “Great White North”, a sketch which was featured on SCTV – second city television for the show’s most watched season when it streamed by the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the 80’s. Bob’s part is acted by hilarious comedian Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie is brought to life by actor Dave Thomas. The sketch was developed originally as fluff to both please and laugh at stupid Canadian content statutes, the pair grew up to be a pop culture hit in both Canada and the US. The McKenzie siblings went on to become the focus of a hit comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.

Elixir: Power of Erlang, Joy of Ruby
I’m a language nut. I love trying them out, and I love thinking about their design and implementation. (I know, it’s sad.)
I came across Ruby in 1998 because I was an avid reader of comp.lang.misc (ask your parents). I downloaded it, compiled it, and fell in love. As with any time you fall in love, it’s difficult to explain why. It just worked the way I work, and it had enough depth to keep me interested.
Fast forward 15 years. All that time I’d been looking for something new that gave me the same feeling.
Then I came across Elixir, a language by José Valim, that puts a humane, Ruby-like syntax on the Erlang VM.
Now I’m dangerous. I want other people to see just how great this is. I want to evangelize. I won’t try to convert you away from Ruby. But I might just persuade you to add Elixir to your toolset.
So come along and let me show you the things that I think make Elixir a serious alternative for writing highly reliable, scalable, and performant server code.
And, more important, let me show you some fun stuff.

worst audio quality every, but talk is worth suffering from it.
Damn you Jose Valim! Damn you for making such an elegant language that looks enough like Ruby that I now want to abandon her for the new hotness of immutable pattern matching :*(
Before now I thought performant languages couldn't be beautiful and vice-versa.
what does it do better than F#?
You're probably in a tiny minority, YoLinYo. Hoardes of highly talented programmers think otherwise.
pragprog: worst technical books ever.
