I’m trying to figure out how companies are using Elixir

Can you fill this short survey? https://t.co/YoAUjerR5J

Results will be public after 1 month.

I just want to understand if Elixir is being used outside toy projects and if there’s a demand for Elixir developers.

https://github.com/chvanikoff/reph2 is a next RePh version and now it includes auth and bundles splitting - it can be used as an example of app with landing page and app itself where different styles and JS are needed for each.

I have started to write a new tutorial about how to build a multiplayer real-time game with Elixir and Phoenix like Phoenix Battleship. Here’s the first part where I describe all the components involved in the game mechanics and how they communicate with each other.

Second part of the series where we’ll replace Brunch with Webpack and build a more flexible and dynamic approach thanks to Webpack‘s dynamic module requires api.

First of a two part series on how to organize page specific JavaScript aimed at those developers that are making the jump from Rails to Phoenix and are used to rely on its Asset Pipeline.

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.

The full changelog can be found here and you can download it from Hex.

Ahoy Elixir hearties!

For my next Elixir side project I wanted to create something different, so after playing around with GenServers and Agents for a while I couldn’t resist creating an online 1 vs. 1 realtime game… the Phoenix Battleship!

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

Batten down the hatches, and good luck!!!

Quick and reliable way to convert string keys in a deep map to atoms with AtomicMap

iex> AtomicMap.convert(%{"string_as_key": %{"nested_value": [%{mixed_keys: "yeah"}, %{"mixed_keys": "totally"}]}})

%{string_as_key: %{nested_value: [%{mixed_keys: "yeah"}, %{mixed_keys: "totally"}]}}

We’re keeping the pace, which means: Another week, another patch release for Credo, the Elixir code style linter turning into an analysis toolbox!
