Introduction
Input and output in the Erlang VM are performed using I/O servers. These are simply Erlang processes that implement a low-level message interface. We never have to deal with this interface directly, which is a good thing because it’s complex. Instead, we use the various Elixir and Erlang I/O libraries and let ...
