Elixir programming language: Erlang VM + Ruby syntax

Elixir-lang.org

Elixir is a functional, meta-programming aware language built on top of the Erlang VM. It is a dynamic language that focuses on tooling to leverage Erlang's abilities to build concurrent, distributed and fault-tolerant applications with hot code upgrades

Interesting fact mentioned in podcast interview 

Building Functional Communities with Bryan Hunter @ .NET Rocks!

that Ruby programming language got attention an popularity after a book by Dave Thomas (of Agile Manifesto and Pragmatic Programmer fame).

Now, he wrote a book about brand new language that is just getting to version 1.0.
