I believe that to really learn a programming language, I have to get involved in a project. Getting an overview of the Elixir language was great. But to be able to learn about the details of Elixir and its ecosystem I needed a side-project. Like many developers who want to learn a new technology, I searched for a problem to solve. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Abraham
