Implement Erlang Standard Library calls in Elixir Standard Library

Below is a list of all the known Erlang standard library functions found in Elixir's Standard Library that have not been implemented in some way yet in ElixirScript. Implementations should go here

For anyone looking to implement a function the steps would be to:

Pick a function or functions from the list below
Implement the function(s) in JavaScript according to the Erlang docs
Add tests for the function(s) implemented
Make Pull Request

Then we can check off those functions is the list below

Hi @bryanjos ,

I would like to contribute to this project, and this seems like a good place to start. But I have some questions first.

I was thinking to try doing system_time/0 and processes/0. Implementations might be something like:

function system_time() {
  return new Date().getTime();
}

function processes() {
  child_process.exec('ps aux', (err, stdout, stdin) => {
    if (err) throw err;
      console.log(stdout);
    });
}

but how can I go about writing the test for such functions? Since they are relying on JS APIs and Node.js APIs.

Hmm... I think you might want to check all the filename functions off since they are implemented here.

I think this should be rethought a bit
