Abstract

The rise of a new programming language provides the need to contrast its contribution in field of programming. The functional programming paradigm was explicitly created to support a pure functional approach to problem solving. Functional programming promotes a coding style that helps developers write code that is short, fast, and maintainable. Functional programming is a form of declarative programming .In this article, we are going to show the advantages and disadvantages of a particular functional programming called Elixir .We compare the language Elixir with different languages genres. Eg . Procedural, OOP, etc.
