I would suggest to anyone to download Livebook and test it out, even if you don't know Elixir or Erlang. You can do so much with it. I even use it for things outside of programming due to it being pretty much a markdown notebook that you can run code inside of.
It's one of my favorite tools.
- troupo 3y agoTo do so much with it you need to know Elixir or Erlang ;)
- impulser_ 3y agoYou actually don't. You can use smart cells which lets you do a lot without actually coding. You can transform data, build charts, run AI model and more all without writing code. You might have to Google how to read a file in Elixir, but you don't actually need to know Elixir. In the future, you won't even need to know that to use it.
- troupo 3y agoAh. I never actually looked into smart cells. Mind blown.gif :)
- cpursley 3y agoFwiw, I’ve been using Elixir professionally for 5 or so years and even created a few open source libraries. Never once had to touch Erlang.
- throwawaymaths 3y agoOr, not and. Livebook just added Erlang cells.
- nesarkvechnep 3y agoErlang is very nice. I prefer it for writing libraries nowadays. It’s much easier to use Erlang from Elixir than the other way around.
- scurvy__dog 3y agoFor linux the easiest way to download livebook is with docker [1] or maybe with fly.io [2]. Installing it directly is a bit complicated if you are not familiar with it. I wish linux also had Desktop app like mac.
