Programming

Elixir is a language with syntactical roots in Ruby. It also carries the Erlang legacy. Legacy used here as in "a great legacy" and not as in "system you don't like anymore". Ruby is an object-oriented language. Elixir is functional language. The Erlang part has an impact as Elixir was designed to provide strong interoperability with Erlang. Like Ruby and Erlang, Elixir is a high-level of abstraction and very dynamic language. Overall I would say the Elixir syntax is pretty approachable and reasonable to learn. Let's unpack it.

The Telemetry library is a popular option to publish metrics and events in Elixir applications. Many libraries (including Phoenix) are already using the :telemetry package as a way to give users more insight into the behaviour of their applications and bring observability at key moments in the application lifecycle.

An introduction to data structures...

Elixir is the thing I do most of my public writing and speaking about. It is my default programming language for the last 5-6 years. It suits my brain. Performs well for the kind of work I typically do. And using it I have experienced very few drawbacks. Rather than writing yet another post trying to widely summarize what I think is beneficial about the language I want to try and go a bit deeper on one particular aspect I like. Not incredibly technically deep, but unpack the concepts more thoroughly. I hope this will be a series of stand-alone posts. We will see. This time we unpack Elixir concurrency (and parallelism).

We are excited to open-source our Elixir implementation of Delta – an expressive format to describe contents and changes that powers our real-time collaboration.
