Exploring Elixir & Phoenix. Solved some AOC & exercism problems with it, and wrote a BF compiler. So far, enjoying every bit of it. The language itself is beautiful! Codes are available on my Github[1] account :). [1] https://github.com/wasi0013/ https://github.com/wasi0013/

What inspired the BF compiler project?

  I thought it will be easy to implement and also a bit of nostalgia. I was a 2nd/3rd semester CS student at that time when I saw BF code for the first time on a Competitive programming platform named SPOJ[0]. Later, I found it again on a code golfing website[1]. I thought it would be fun to learn as the language only had 8 commands! I learned it and wrote a tutorial[2] on my native language for my best friend so that we could have some fun together with it :D [0] http://spoj.com/ http://spoj.com/ [1] http://golf.shinh.org/ http://golf.shinh.org/ [2] https://github.com/wasi0013/Bangla-Brainfuck-tutorial/blob/master/Bangla-Brainfuck-Tutorial.md https://github.com/wasi0013/Bangla-Brainfuck-tutorial/blob/m...

I’ve been doing the same in fact. I’ve always had a soft spot for Erlang (and now Elixir). I wrote a pretty large Erlang app back in college for a distributed system in a Biology research project. I’ve been enjoying working with it - taking a little break but definitely enjoying Phoenix as well. It’s been refreshing to work through a “big” web framework that feels straightforward to reason about.

Here's a great course from Udemy using Elixir and Phoenix: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix-bootcamp-and-tutorial/ https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix...
