One of the things I want to challenge myself to do is learn some more useful things, and one of the languages they’re using at work is Elixir. It’s a functional language, not a procedural language like Perl, so this is not only learning a new language but it’s learning a new way to think about code.

Since I can’t really learn by just reading about a language or watching a bunch of excellent videos one of my coworkers produced, I decided that I needed to start doing the Perl Weekly Challenge tasks in Elixir. Today, I’m tackling PWC 267 Task 1.
