-Elixir Hello World
-==================
-
-This is an example of running Cowboy with [Elixir](http://elixir-lang.org).
-
-You need Elixir installed
-([instructions here](http://elixir-lang.org/getting_started/1.html))
-to run this example. After installing Elixir, you should have both
-`elixir` and `mix` executables available.
-
-You also need [rebar](https://github.com/rebar/rebar) in your PATH
-to compile dependencies.
-
-Then type the following command:
-
-```
-mix deps.get
-```
-
-The command above will fetch all dependencies and compile them.
-
-You can then start the Erlang node with the following command:
-
-```
-mix run --no-halt
-```
-
-Then point your browser to localhost:8080.
-
-Example
--------
-
-``` bash
-$ curl -i http://localhost:8080
-HTTP/1.1 200 OK
-connection: keep-alive
-server: Cowboy
-date: Fri, 28 Sep 2012 04:10:25 GMT
-content-length: 12
-
-Hello world!
-```
