Things that jumped out at me while learning Elixir

Cons operator

In addition to the aforementioned functions, you can use pattern matching and the cons operator | to split a list into head and tail; we’ll learn more about this pattern in later lessons:

iex> [h|t] = [3.14, :pie, "Apple"]
[3.14, :pie, "Apple"]
iex> h
3.14
iex> t
[:pie, "Apple"]

Iterating

Comprehension:

for x <- 0..10, do: IO.puts x
