===How Does Dynamic Code Reloading Work in Elixir?=== Elixir leverages the Erlang Virtual Machine (BEAM) to provide this dynamic code reloading functionality. The BEAM is known for its ability to hot-swap code in a running system, and Elixir takes advantage of this capability. In Elixir, modules are the building blocks of code, and they can be easily reloaded during runtime. When a code change is made to a module, the new version of the module is loaded into memory, and any process that is currently using the old version is gracefully migrated to use the new version. This ensures that the system remains operational with the updated code, without disrupting any ongoing processes or losing their state.
