Diving Deep into the BEAM: Elixir's Foundation

2025-05-12

This is the first chapter in the "Elixir, 7 Steps to Start Your Journey" series, delving into the foundation of Elixir's power and reliability: the Erlang Virtual Machine (BEAM). The post explores Erlang's history, design goals, and its crucial role in Elixir. Created in the mid-1980s, Erlang, initially for telecommunications, is now a general-purpose language known for distributed, fault-tolerant, massively concurrent, and soft real-time systems. The BEAM manages Erlang code execution, concurrent processes, and achieves fault tolerance through asynchronous message passing. Elixir, running on the BEAM, inherits these strengths while adding cleaner syntax and a robust library. A simple code example showcases Erlang and Elixir interaction. The next chapter promises a deep dive into Erlang processes and concurrency.
