Wow! Awesome to see Elixir School here. I'm the creator, happy to answer any questions or listen to feedback!

We've got a lot of big things coming this year. A whole new site, new lessons, and a few exciting new additions.

Very functional site. It's easy to read and I already was several pages into learning Elixir!

> Very functional site.

I see what you did there.

On topic, this is a great resource. I used this as my primary learning tool back when I was just starting to learn Elixir.

Thank you! Any and all feedback is welcomed too! If you see anything that needs improvement please feel free to submit a PR.

Does elixir only have 'int'? In that intro section I'd like to see mention of 8, 16, 24, 32, 64, and 128 bit ints/complex (if they exist). Nothing big, just mention that they exist and I won't have to abandon the language for higher maths.

Hi Xeoncross! Elixir does have floats, we should make mention of them. If you'd like to submit a PR we'd happily accept :)

No, not 32, 64, 128 bit floats/doubles (though I'm glad it has those as well). I meant plain ints. Do I have to do binary math or can I make use of large numbers natively?

Keep up the great work! All my side projects are in Elixir/Phoenix now in great part thanks to this site!
