In the first of a two-part series, we’ll explore how parser combinators work in Elixir. https://blog.appsignal.com/2022/10/18/parser-combinators-in-elixir-taming-semi-structured-text.html

We’re so excited to announce that Ash Framework 2.0 has been releeased! We’ve got a great write up about it on the Elixir Forums, check it out! Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen :)

Third part of a series to create a probuild tracker for the game league of legends. Together we will build probuild-ex using elixir, phoenix, liveview and friends.

ExUnion is meant to be a lightweight, elixir-y implementation of tagged unions (also called variant, discriminated union, sum type, etc.).

While conventionally Elixir tends to promote using tuples to model tagged unions - the {:ok, …} | {:error, …} pattern being a good example of that - this approach arguably lacks expressiveness, especially when modeling non-trivial unions. An alternative is to employ structs to model the individual cases of a tagged union, which works nicely but has the disadvantage of requiring significant boilerplate code.

ExUnion attempts to bridge this gap by generating the necessary boilerplate (and a bit more) through a concise albeit opinionated DSL.

Episode 120 of Thinking Elixir. Localizing and personalizing an application is separate from the language used in the interface. Kip Cole explains how the mismatch of computers with the culture of our audience creates friction we may not even be aware of. In fact, our benign app may be unintentionally offensive to millions of people! Kip created the libraries ex_cldr, money and tempo to help Elixir developers localize applications in a culture aware way. What does that mean? It means using minimal information we can infer how names should appear, how numbers are represented, the assumed numeric rounding rules, first day of the week, the calendar being used, and more!

This post asks if we can remove Alpine from the PETAL stack. Can we do everything we need with just LiveView? Also, let’s explore an area where LiveView can still improve.

Adding Elixir to Erlang via Rebar3 - https://itnext.io/adding-elixir-to-erlang-via-rebar3-2ad83476b627

Changelog

v13.2.1

Bug Fixes

• Ignore PsiErrorElement when collecting doc comments.
• Fix README typos.
• Log before and after setting mirror for decompiled files. Parsing complex decompiles can freeze the IDE. Logging before parsing the decompiles will give a chance of finding the file and recovering the decompiled code to find the error or complexity that needs to be suppressed.
• Use Options.truncateDecompiledBodyz on Elixir decompiled bodies too. Previously, this was only used for Erlang functions. Fixes parsing decompiled code causing freezes for some files. * Ignoreauthors: …for documentation when injecting Markdown. * StopprependQualifierswhen reaching a qualified bracket operation (Alias.function[key]). * Skip-1and other unary operations when resolving types. * Ignore maps at the root of files when collecting doc comments. * ReturnemptySequencefromchildExpressionswhenPsiElementhas nofirstChildorlastChild. * Don’t descend inside struct literal when resolving types. * Ignore injecting Markdown in calls that read the text from a file, such as in@moduledoc File.read!(Path.join([DIR, “..”, “README.md”]))* Ignore undocumented script code at root of files. * Alias used in qualified call. * Integers * Floats * Tuples * StopancestorTypeSpeconQualifiedMultipleAliases. * Ignore pipelines for injecting Markdown in doc comments. * Ignore uselesswarn_missinginedeliver‘sdistillery` dep. * Stop accumulating qualifiers when bracket operation is hit either as qualifier or argument.
