> libraries can be created and not need constant breaking updates. Yeah, but I've been traumatized by the Javascript ecosystem where a library can end up abandoned any day without warning. > As an Elixir developer, I never go to Awesome Elixir to search for libraries. I needed a full implementation of the iCalendar RFC (including recurrence rules), this is a solved problem in Go, Python and Javascript, but not in Elixir. And I didn't want to spend weeks on partially implementing that huge RFC. I ended up using Rambo[1] and an external binary in Go that I ship with my release in a Docker image. I set up a build system based on Makefiles to build everything properly, and compile-time configuration per environment to locate the binary. [1] - https://github.com/jayjun/rambo
