Hi,

I recently gave a talk in Tokyo about what’s coming in Elixir 1.3, and just published a blog post about it.

Take a look if you want to know more about all the good stuff coming.

Hi everybody,

I deployed some fixes to ElixirStatus due to recent problems with URLs posted in titles. The software now makes sure it does not break URLs when tweeting them.

I also used the opportunity to improve the readability on mobile, so if you are using ElixirStatus via Phone, please let me know what you think.

It’s still under development, but I hope you enjoy it :)

Batten down the hatches, and good luck!!!

Behaviours can be a confusing concept at first; this post aims to explain what they are, when a developer would want to use them and how they’d best do so. It also takes a look at how they’re being used through the current ecosystem.

Writing Extensible Elixir with Behaviours

Mainly a lot of interface refactoring to make it easier to understand for outsiders.

Includes cool stuff like memory inspection, transaction blocks, and customisable timeouts.

Release notes can be found here: https://github.com/zackehh/cachex/releases/tag/v0.9.0
