Classic ASP vs Elixir: What are the differences?
Developers describe Classic ASP as "A server-side script engine *". It is a server-side scripting environment that you can use to create and run dynamic, interactive Web server applications. With ASP, you can combine HTML pages, script commands, and COM components to create interactive Web pages and powerful Web-based applications that are easy to develop and modify. On the other hand, *Elixir** is detailed as "Dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications". Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed and fault-tolerant systems, while also being successfully used in web development and the embedded software domain.
Classic ASP and Elixir can be categorized as "Languages" tools.
Elixir is an open source tool with 15.7K GitHub stars and 2.24K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Elixir's open source repository on GitHub.
