Asynchronous testing in Elixir with Mox

Testing in Elixir is pretty neat. You can easily test anything written, you have instruments like ExUnit or ESpec, you can practice TDD and more and more. Functional programming paradigm helps you a lot to make your testing even simpler by forcing you to use pure, small functions that will be pleasant to test. Concurrency of Elixir allows you to run all your tests asynchronously and blazingly fast.

Pattern matching in Elixir

Pattern matching is a key feature of functional programming. It allows you to check a given sequence of tokens for the presence of the constituents of some pattern. Using pattern matching you can easily operate with complex data structures in most expressive and eloquent way. Elixir provides pattern matching like any other functional programming language.
