This is exciting! I've been meaning to host some things on FreeBSD. Coming from a Linux background, the question of how to ship and run my applications on there becomes quite a bit more familiar through this milestone.

I recently started a new job working on a Elixir codebase. While it took me a while to understand the architecture and conventions (just like with any language, I guess), dealing with types was not a concern when it came to navigating the c

Is it possible to share more details about your particular setup? I believe you, but this doesn't sound right. I've used the plugin on all three major operating systems in a wide variety of projects and configurations, and have ne

Apparently an incident took place in 1831 where a bridge collapsed under soldiers marching, but the Wikipedia article [1] notes that "The conclusion of the investigation was that the vibration caused by the marching precipitated the bo

This is exciting! Really excited about the collaborative nature of the Livebooks, as well as the version control -enabling .livemd format. Are there any specific collaborative features the team is planning for future releases?

My hunch echoes that of other commenters here. That is, it seems like many core libraries have been quite steady and "complete" for a while now, and many people are just using them today to get work done. That isn't to say th

I'm really excited about this project. Seeing Elixir inch this much closer to being a viable option for machine learning and related fields is great. In case someone here wants to read rather than listen to all the details, I wrote dow

This topic of success and what contributes to it always makes me think back to this great video by Veritasium (aka. Derek Muller) titled "Is success luck or hard work?" [1]. While it's probably impossible to prove one way or

I've dabbled in Elixir for quite a lot over the past few years, and I have to agree with the general trail of thought you're showing. If I have a question about Elixir, I don't even think about going to StackOverflow for it.

One major thing would probably be OTP, which would be very difficult to implement as-is on top of Go. A recent comment thread [1] over at Lobste.rs explored this in more depth. Saša Jurić made an absolutely wonderful hands-on presentation [

To reiterate what others here already said, success really isn't anything "universally great" to aim for. There's probably no real way to do that either, since there isn't even any universal definition of what succe

You make a good point, and this is one of the reasons why I really like the Phoenix web framework (of the Elixir ecosystem). It firmly guides you towards building applications where Phoenix is only a single interface to your underlying Elix

Are there any specific libraries or tools written in PHP that you use in your day-to-day life? Perhaps having a look into their state could yield some interesting opportunities for you to contribute. That way you'd also get an extra in

Thank you for the tool and the details you've shared! Is there any particular reason you opted to run your own instances of Lighthouse rather than use the PageSpeed Insights API provided by Google? API quota limitations, perhaps?

I watched the ElixirConf 2019 keynote [1] as soon as it came up. While I was left excited about Lumen in general, I wasn't entirely sure what kinds of things Lumen would be most useful for. Being able to ship a single binary (like with

Thank you for the write-up! I've been looking for an excuse to dig deeper into Scenic, and the allure of combining that with eInk makes it sound even more fun. Ordering an Inky right away.

Being able to say I’ve overcome my nearly 15 years of depression. I did some pretty neat things in and out of work too, but none of them can really compare to finally feeling happy and healthy again. I learned that if I’m not happy, then no

Elixir. The ecosystem has been steadily growing (and, more importantly, becoming more robust and mature) throughout 2018 with continuously improved tooling, libraries and frameworks. I'm excited for many of the upcoming things [1] in t

Thank you for the write-up! When starting The Outline, did you investigate other languages for building the system, or were you set on Elixir from the start? What were these other options you evaluated (if any)? Which aspects of Elixir conv

In case you haven't heard yet, there's ongoing work [1] from Paul Schoenfelder for just that! Dockyard (employer of Chris McCord, father of the Phoenix framework) hired him some time back for this very reason. [1] https:/&#x

I might've misunderstood what you referred to in this particular case, but you generally don't need to even have Erlang installed on the target machine to ship Elixir (and/or Erlang) applications. Tools like Distillery make i

You mention that the state management is far from ideal. How did you choose to manage state in this project (or is there a GitHub repo to have a look at)?

Excellent recommendation. For the people who are considering getting this book, I would like to point out that a 2nd edition of the book is also available in the Manning Early Access Program (MEAP) [1]. OTP-wise things haven't really c

Would you care to elaborate on the complications you've experienced? I'm curious because my personal experience has been very much the opposite. I've built nothing but small projects using Phoenix, and I've considered it

As an avid Elixir user, your comment got me thinking about how and where I look for help. I realized that it wouldn't even really occur to me to use Stack Overflow for answers regarding Elixir, as the other platforms you mentioned tend

The series of articles "Writing a Blog Engine in Phoenix and Elixir" [1] can be quite fast-paced at times, but in the end (and far before that, too) you'll have a blog platform that you can use and you'll understand how
