Elixir: A modern approach to programming for the Erlang VM

Elixir is a programming language built on top of the Erlang VM. As Erlang, it is a functional language built to support distributed, fault-tolerant, non-stop applications with hot code swapping.

Elixir is also dynamic typed but, differently from Erlang, it is also homoiconic, allowing meta-programming via macros. Elixir also supports polymorphism via protocols (similar to Clojure's), dynamic records and provides a reference mechanism.

Finally, Elixir and Erlang share the same bytecode and data types. This means you can invoke Erlang code from Elixir (and vice-versa) without any conversion or performance hit. This allows a developer to mix the expressiveness of Elixir with the robustness and performance of Erlang.

Meck: mocking library for Erlang

With meck you can easily mock modules in Erlang. You can also perform some basic validations on the mocked modules, such as making sure no unexpected exceptions occurred or looking at the call history.

Features

* Automatic renaming and restoration of original modules
* Automatic backup and restore of cover data
* Changing return values using sequences and loops of static values
* Pass through: use functions from the original module
* Mock is linked to the creating process (disable with|nolink|)
* Complete call history showing calls, results and exceptions
* Mocking of sticky modules (using the option|unstick|)
* Throwing of expected exceptions that keeps the module valid

* allows web searching of available packages, and allows direct use with erlang shell.
* helps you to keep your erlang system up-to-date, and to manage installed/available packages.
* helps you to install erlang on production systems without need of compilation.

Lager: logging framework for Erlang/OTP

Lager (as in the beer) is a logging framework for Erlang. Its purpose is to provide a more traditional way to perform logging in an erlang application that plays nicely with traditional UNIX logging tools like logrotate and syslog.
