Check out this excerpt from the upcoming Book Club episode with Saša Jurić and Erik Schön where they explore whether Elixir could be the right tool for your job. In the interview, Erik Schön, managing director at Nordic, also explores key benefits and practices with Elixir, a functional language with over 20k commits on Git Hub.

We have been building a platform where using LiveView made a lot of sense, since we wanted some of our features to use an interface that could be updated in real-time. For example, we wanted administrators of the platform to be able to see, on a map, the sightings that the users of the app were reporting on certain places, as they happen. Let’s call it a live map. Full post here.

Inspired by PhoenixDiff, Elixir Diff helps you compare projects generated using mix new, mix phx.new, etc. You can also compare various CLI flags. https://elixirdiff.com/
