Episode 188 of Thinking Elixir. In this week’s news, we follow-up on Erlang’s use of ExDoc with José Valim’s reveal of upcoming features for ExDoc that promises to enhance documentation experiences. We’ll also explore the return of the Elixir Slack inviter, now powered by a Plug app, and take a look at the latest PhoenixTest project, aiming to unify testing workflows for LiveView and static pages.

I’d typically write custom dbg statements. But I always wanted a way to print the function’s name without me having to know it.
Turns out, there’s an easy way thanks to the __ENV__ macro! 🥳

One Billion Record Challenge in Elixir - faster
1BRC again. With some optimizations, I am able to process 1bn lines (using 10k different cities) on a 16 vcpu cloud machine in ~40 seconds using pure Elixir w/o dependencies (288 LoC)! As a comparison, on the same machine, a solution using Explorer.DataFrame’s would give me a runtime of ~20 seconds. Not too bad for pure Elixir!
