I sponsored the OpenBSD port of Elixir 1.0.5 & Erlang 18: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/lang/elixir/ http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/

  That's awesome! Could I ask why? Are you using it to build anything public?

    Hopefully some day! ☺ All my programming is public, so if I ever start making something with it, it'll be at https://github.com/sivers https://github.com/sivers But I'm a fan of OpenBSD, and like to make sure it stays current. I've contributed a few thousand $ over the years to help. And I'm a fan of Dave Thomas from Pragmatic Programmers, so when I heard him raving about Elixir, I had to give it a try. I like it so far.

  Thanks! That should (hopefully) put an end to me having to build both of those things from source (as another user of both OpenBSD and Erlang/Elixir).

  Thank you so much! I just noticed the Erlang port yesterday; it was a most pleasant surprise.
