Wow this news front-paged fast! I just tagged the commit, grabbed a quick lunch, and I haven't finished drafting the official release announcement yet :) If you want to know what Phoenix 1.2 is all about, check my ElixirConfEU keynote which demos Phoenix Presence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n338leKvqnA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n338leKvqnA José Valim and I were also on the changelog podcast talking about what's new: https://changelog.com/208/ https://changelog.com/208/

Hey Chris! Just watched the video from elixir conf EU Do you have more information about the "Phoenix with gaming" book that's in the works? I'd like to find out more about it and when it would be available. Thanks!

That talk was super interesting. Thanks! https://haslab.wordpress.com/2011/07/08/version-vectors-are-not-vector-clocks/ https://haslab.wordpress.com/2011/07/08/version-vectors-are-... - are you sure what you described is a version clock, and not a version vector? I'll readily admit to not having a thorough enough grasp of both to feel confident in making that call.

  I believe they are technically version vectors, which I've mentioned in other talks, but I haven't been sure if the distinction is helpful and I haven't been confident enough yet to explain the nuances. Will check out the link

    Ok - the reason I ask is because when I needed to figure some of that stuff out, I had more or less the same reaction you did in your talk. I'm still not 100% of everything :-)

Chris, been a huge fan of Elixir and Phoenix. Do you have any scope on the performance of Elixir versus standard erlang? I am gathering the opinion that erlangers believe Elixir to be slower in general? E.g. the performance of poison versus jiffy

  Jiffy is not erlang but NIFs that call to C. So it is probably the source of the problem more than Elixir vs Erlang.
