Try Elixir

    Interactive Elixir (0.9.4-dev)
    iex(1)> :start
    iex(1)> 8 + 4
    ...(1)>

And then the session freezes. Tutorial is unclear about what to do following that.

E: appears to be broken in FF 22.0 for me, but works in Chrome. Other people with a similar FF version do not seem to be having the same issue. Disregard this comment.

generally it seems to work

    Interactive Elixir (0.9.4-dev)
    iex(1)> {:true,foo} =  {:true,123}
    {true, 123}
    iex(3)> IO.puts foo
    ** (RuntimeError) restricted
    iex(3)> inspect foo
    "123"

Nice intro. I have been curious about this language and it is great to give a try without any install.

Might be a bug - with the Lists example after I typed in part of the tutorial it jumped to the next example. I was not expecting a change jump.

Yeah, I'm asking for a valid list and it jumps as soon as you enter one, which is not that useful on that part of the tutorial, I'm going to change it, thanks.
