For the uninitiated, there was a fairly positive critique[1] of Elixir by Joe Armstrong, the creator of Erlang, last year (at least that's what got me hooked to Elixir).

Congratulations! Great job getting to 1.0!

The Erlang VM is a beautiful piece of engineering - anything that brings people into its orbit is good for programming.

For anyone wanting to know more about Elixir, all the videos from this year's ElixirConf are available on the web [1]. The opening keynote by Dave Thomas is an eye opening "must watch" [2].

Awesome power and maturity of the Erlang VM + modern syntax and hygienic macros... such beauty.

Jose Valim is a pretty incredible person. Ships top-tier code at a high level consistently, thinks thoughtfully and strategically, and engages with the world in such a calm and positive way. The BEAM ecosystem is richer for his presence.

Agreed. Always pleasant to see his name attached to projects. Gives me reason to look into them further.

I had the pleasure to chat with him for awhile after he gave an Elixir talk at a ruby conference a couple years ago. He is one of the friendliest and most humble people I've ever met, and his work speaks (very highly) for itself.
