listed above. These discussions help refine ideas and gather feedback before
submission. Our website also includes [a general outline of the language

Once you are ready, you can submit your proposal to the [Elixir Core
mailing list][3], either through the web interface or by subscribing to
it at <[email protected]>. Remember to include
a clear problem description, describe how the proposed solution compares
with existing alternatives in the Elixir ecosystem (as well as in other
languages), and the potential impact your changes will have on the codebase
and community.
