I’m happy to release my first elixir project: nadia, a Telegram Bot API Wrapper.

I learned so much from it. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

After a bit of a staring contest, I eventually decided to give Elixir a go and for the last couple of weeks I was working on a new project that is build with 100% Elixir. At this point it is not phoenix, it’s more a data processing thing.

And I wrote a bit about my first impressions. In case someone might be interested in some feedback and some thoughts, please proceed over here. Thanks!

Exactly one month ago the “beta phase” of ElixirStatus started and it has been a real success in my mind. We have over 100 Users, nearly 200 Twitter followers and an average of 3 postings per day.

So today I removed the “beta banner” and launched elixirstatus.com “officially” after joking about it on Twitter yesterday.

I’m playing with macros to have a nice “sender operator” like Erlang & Akka: https://github.com/meox/SendOP

any comments are welcome

I wrote up some of my thoughts about releasing a small utility library for Elixir. Mostly for my own usage, but some fun things, for example Map.deep_put (like mkdir -p), and Map.group_by - multi-level grouping, great for rendering hierarchical Ecto results for example. Feedback welcome.

I just wrote a blog post about Elixir’s adoption, 100k Hex packages and what is needed for the ecosystem to thrive even further:

Self-generating modules and unit tests to save some time when coding Mix projects is the idea of this vim plugin.

Hey Elixir friends,

a few hours ago I released v0.1.0 of Redix, a Redis client written in pure Elixir™. I had lots of fun building it, and I’d love any kind of feedback :).

Quick feature tour:

• non-blocking (a Redix connection doesn’t wait for a response to come back from Redis before sending other commands to it)
• pipelined
• very very simple :)
• resilient, meaning it’s able to reconnect to Redis after a network failure (thanks to the awesome connection by James Fish)

Quick missing features tour:

• PubSub! This is the biggest missing feature for now, for sure.
• Maybe Redis Sentinel?

I know redo or eredis are much more battle-tested than Redix and they’ve been around much longer, but hey, Redix is PURE ELIXIR! :D Also, from a set of benchmarks I did (using benchfella), it appears that Redix is as fast as eredis and redo for single commands, but faster than both of them for pipelines of commands (the more commands in the pipeline, the faster it is compared to the other two!).

So, while there was absolutely no need for another Redis client in this world, I’m happy Elixir has a native one too now :)

Cheers!

I just released v0.4.0 of InchEx which brings Elixir v1.1 compatibility.

InchEx provides a Mix task to evaluate your inline docs and show you where they can be improved. Its inchci.add task can be used to add Elixir projects to Inch CI.

Take a break with me as I make a pitstop the Elixir GenEvent module, seeing what it can offer in a real life project.
