'''Elixir''' is a Brazilian [[functional programming|functional]], [[concurrent computing|concurrent]], [[High-level programming language|high-level]] [[General-purpose programming language|general-purpose]] [[programming language]] that runs on the [[BEAM (Erlang virtual machine)|BEAM]] [[virtual machine]], which is also used to implement the [[Erlang (programming language)|Erlang]] programming language.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://www.eliteinfoworld.com/blog/popular-programming-languages-2018/|title=Most Popular Programming Languages of 2018 - Elite Infoworld Blog|date=2018-03-30|access-date=2018-05-08|archive-date=2018-05-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180509080342/https://www.eliteinfoworld.com/blog/popular-programming-languages-2018/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Elixir builds on top of Erlang and shares the same abstractions for building [[Distributed computing|distributed]], [[fault-tolerant]] applications. Elixir also provides tooling and an [[extensible]] design. The latter is supported by compile-time [[metaprogramming]] with [[Macro (computer science)|macros]] and [[polymorphism (computer science)|polymorphism]] via protocols.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://elixir-lang.org|title=Elixir | work=José Valim | access-date=2013-02-17}}</ref>
