Elixir is aimed at large-scale sites and apps. It uses features of [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]], Erlang, and [[Clojure]] to develop a high-concurrency and low-latency language. It was designed to handle large data volumes. Elixir is also used in telecommunications, e-commerce, and finance.<ref>{{ cite web |url=https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/articles/btc-elixir-jose-valim/|title=Behinde the code: The One Who Created Elixir | access-date=2019-11-25}}</ref>
