Last week I picked up Fabio Mascarenhas (of Lua fame) at the airport for an event. I was surprised when he told me that like Lua, elixir also has Brazilian roots. Few Brazilians know that.
Speaking of this, just how did Elixir's Jose Valim (who I assume is Polish) wind up working at the Brazilian Plataformatec? Last I checked, Brazil is a quite a bit more than a stone's throw away from Poland, and I would imagine even the tele-commute must be hell much less the physical commute.
