Translated from Portuguese Read in Portuguese

The Elixir Enchiridium series is a satirical fantasy based on real facts about Elixir. Macros in Elixir are a powerful feature that allows writing code that generates code at compile-time, used for creating Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) and extending the language. The series also highlights the use of Elixir in various industries, including a Swiss insurance company, Helvetia, which adopted Elixir to replace complex Jenkins pipelines, and a British education company, Multiverse, which has been using Elixir since 2016.

Additionally, the Remote company, a unicorn that allows companies to hire people globally, was founded using Elixir.
