Introduction

A short introduction to the fundamentals of functional programming. This is not an introduction to Elixir but to the concepts of functional programming that is common for all languages in the family: Erlang, Haskell, Scala, F#, Lisp, Ocaml etc. If you know the fundamental principles you can easily pick up any language.

The only concepts that we will use so far are simple data structures: atoms, integers and tuples, and how to do pattern matching over these.¶
