You may know of it already and it may not solve all of or any of your problems because I don't have experience with Labview outside of Eng 101 in college, but using something like Flow in elixir may make your experience with pipes less frustrating from the description you gave here. Flow is basically a GenStage backed data processing library that allows you to build out some parallel pipelines with various timings, triggers and stages.
- bmitc 5y agoThanks for the mention of Flow. I have heard of it but haven’t used it. I am admittedly still getting my feet wet with Elixir, so I’m still learning the ecosystem, which has a pretty steep learning curve. The language itself is quite nice and the tooling is pleasant. You just “mix <this>” and “mix <that>” to working programs. Part of my issue is the reverse shock of what text based programmers experience when moving to a visual language since I’m coming to Elixir from LabVIEW. I missing seeing certain things but am becoming accustomed to it. I’ve done text based programming a decent amount but never day to day on large code bases (and I’m new to Elixir having primarily used F# and Racket for projects and some Python for work against my will).
