Elixir is a dynamic, functional, general-purpose programming language that targets the BEAM virtual machine. It’s proven itself as a capable language for building and maintaining scalable applications. But Elixir wasn’t designed with machine learning in mind. Prior to the Nx[1] project, machine learning in Elixir was, at the very least, ill-advised. The BEAM virtual machine wasn’t designed to perform the type of heavy lifting that machine learning requires. However, Nx and the ecosystem around it were built to enable Elixir programmers to perform the computationally expensive work required for machine learning applications.
Elixir and Nx are new players in the machine learning field. While the Nx ecosystem has ...
