Exercism's Functional February (12in23 challenge)
Exercism (https://exercism.org/) are running a 12in23 challenge this year and this month is Functional February!
I think that this video is a great high-level introduction to functional programming with discussion and code samples of the following concepts (and of course they talk about Elixir as well!)
- Functions as first class citizens
- Pure functions
- Immutability
- Pattern Matching
- Recursion
Certainly worth a look if you’re new to the ideas - the Elixir track is excellent ![]()

Ah nice! It’s great they mention Elixir in a big way (as well as Erlang and Gleam)!
I’m usually not really into doing coding challenges (unless they are like Rails for Zombies
) so I might give it a try myself ![]()
