After 6 years of development, Phoenix LiveView is approaching 1.0.0 and Chris McCord (the creator) has written an excellent article about the journey and why LiveView is different.
We started using Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView in early 2020 and it has changed the way we build applications and think about problems. It still amazes me every day and most importantly: It is so much fun.
Nerves was one of my big ways into Elixir as a community. This Unpacking Elixir is about that project. Share it to those who might be curious or have Pis to spare.
We’re joined by Louis Pilfold, creator of the Gleam programming language!
We discuss Gleam's inspiration, how it compares to other languages, where it shines, the overwhelming support Louis is getting through GitHub Sponsors & what’s next 🔮
It's one of the best talks I've ever watched! The first 10 minutes resonate so strongly with what I've been exploring recently. This guy just Gets It™️ (has quite the technical background too 😉).
Everything about this was so engaging and exciting. Really has me itching to look into it, years later.
On that note, I'm spending some time over the next couple of weeks learning #Elixir to ramp up for my new role. I've already been recommended Phoenix's tutorials, hit me up with more suggestions if you have them :D
I’m so mad at LiveView. It was advertised as “replacement for SPAs”, either by misunderstanding or just overhyping what it can do. Some folks I know started writing client applications in it and now they come back saying “this #elixir thing is too difficult”, putting the blame for misused framework at the whole runtime/language.
Hey, I am Jan, I am 22 years old and moved from another instance.
I love to play the bass and skateboard, when the weather allows for it.
My favorite songs are ICE579 by Temmis, Edward 40Hands by Mom Jeans. and Wellblech by Nils Keppel.
Like many others on this instance, I am a programmer. I have an interest in #Swift and #Golang development on Linux and I am trying to get more active in the #GNOME community.
Nowadays, I’m primarily a bassist and play in a local band. However, I play electric guitar and sing, too.
I’m in love with indie rock and synthy pop. I love Temmis and Mia Morgan, but enjoy Queen, Margarita Quebrada and re6ce as well.
Prada Shoes by re6ce might be my favourite song, atm.
