=== Concurrency Primitives === In addition to processes, Elixir provides several concurrency primitives that aid in the development of concurrent applications. ==== Agents ==== Elixir '''Agents''' are mutable state containers that can be accessed and modified concurrently by multiple processes. Agents allow for easy sharing of state without the need for locks or explicit synchronization. ==== GenServer ==== The '''GenServer''' behaviour in Elixir is a generic server that encapsulates state and functionality. It provides a structured approach to building concurrent servers, allowing for easier management of state and message handling. ==== Tasks ==== '''Tasks''' are concurrent units of work that can be executed asynchronously. They are often used to parallelize computations or perform background tasks without blocking the main process.
