Elixir

Development

Elixir is a modern, functional, concurrent programming language built on top of the Erlang VM. It takes advantages of Erlang's rock-solid fault-tolerance and scalability while also introducing cleaner and more maintainable syntax. Elixir is well-suited for building distributed, fault-tolerant applications.

GNU Make

Development

GNU Make is a utility that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called Makefiles which specify how to derive the target program. It allows users to easily compile large projects without manually issuing the compilation commands.
