I just wrote a post on building an app with RethinkDB and Phoenix

When using PhantomJS with Hound, you need to have a Ghost Driver session running. Here’s how to do it:

I posted a short series of blog posts reflecting on this year:

1. Inch: What a Year
2. ElixirStatus: It’s all about Community
3. Credo: Teaching changed my Life

Big thanks to everybody involved in making Elixir such a great place to be in right now!!

A first post on Elixir, exploring pattern-matching.

Put simply, TableRex can generate pretty ASCII-like tables for your CLI program or Mix task that look like this:

+----------------+---------------+------+
|     Artist     |     Track     | Year |
+================+===============+======+
|    Konflict    |    Cyanide    | 1999 |
| Marcus Intalex |  Temperance   | 2004 |
| Kryptic Minds  | The Forgotten | 2007 |
+----------------+---------------+------+

The styling is quite customisable; the docs still need more work but you can see the different styles of table you can create by looking at the text renderer tests.

Next time you want to give a fellow developer an introduction to Elixir send him this link so he can pick the most complelling article for himself.

Meld creates shell scripts that run mix tasks. If those shell scripts are on the PATH, it emulates a command-line app.

I just published “Setting up Elm with Phoenix” https://medium.com/@diamondgfx/setting-up-elm-with-phoenix-be3a9f55bac2

This post covers how to get a base project set up for Elixir, Elm, and Phoenix and helps with getting brunch configured to give auto-reload for our Elm project!

Episode 5 of ExCasts is now available: EXRM Release for a Simple Elixir Project

My blog post to discuss some of the issues I’ve encountered while trying to strengthen Exrm on Windows.

I put together a tutorial for deploying an Elixir app to your Raspberry Pi 2 with the Nerves-Project.

Building a web framework from scratch in Elixir

Hi everybody,

you might have seen some test tweets I’ve made the last half hour.

You can now add your Twitter handle to ElixirStatus and that will be added to your tweet. Be sure to add it when you make your next post!

As always: Open an Issue if you think anything is broken or worthy of improvement!

My post yesterday received some harsh critique, this is an attempt to clarify my position by personally appealing to Piotr Solnica to give Elixir a try…
