The Little Schemer in Elixir
Exercises and algorithms from The Little Schemer book implemented in Elixir with Scheme comparisons.
What is The Little Schemer in Elixir?
jwhiteman/a-little-elixir-goes-a-long-way is an educational project that ports the classic functional programming exercises from 'The Little Schemer' book to Elixir. It provides side-by-side implementations in both Elixir and Scheme, serving as a practical resource for learning recursion, functional patterns, and language implementation techniques through hands-on examples.
Developers learning Elixir who want to understand functional programming concepts deeply, and programmers familiar with Scheme or 'The Little Schemer' seeking to compare implementations with Elixir's approach.
It offers a unique dual-language perspective, allowing direct comparison between Scheme and Elixir solutions, and leverages Elixir's pattern matching to simplify certain problems, providing varied educational insights beyond a direct translation.
