=== Creating Processes === Creating a new process in Elixir is straightforward. The `spawn` function is used to start a new process and execute a given function within it. This function can be an anonymous function or a named function. Here's an example of creating a new process with an anonymous function: ```elixir pid = spawn(fn -> IO.puts("Hello, world!") end) ``` And here's an example of creating a new process with a named function: ```elixir def hello() do IO.puts("Hello, world!") end pid = spawn(&hello/0) ```
