Programming

Elixir, a functional and concurrent programming language built on the robust Erlang VM, has been making waves in the development community.

Since the previous release in October, my intermittent efforts have been dedicated to developing version 0.2.0 of Elixir Drops, concentrating primarily on enhancing its type system. The main objective has been to introduce the functionality for users...

In this series I've been unpacking various facets of Elixir. Mostly this has meant trying to explain Erlang and the BEAM through the lens of Elixir. Now we are moving into the domain of the web framework. This is where I dare say that Elixir has much more to say than Erlang. Erlang has to my understanding never landed fully on a canonical preferred web framework. Elixir has Phoenix and this post will be unpacking Phoenix. The Elixir web framework.

My personal notes and opinions on :gen_statem in Elixir.

Elixir's lack of static typing doesn't have to be a dealbreaker. Discover how the functional paradigm avoids the usual pitfalls of dynamic typing.

Today we are going explore how to write API clients in the Elixir language. This is a follow-up article to my presentation at OpenCamps…

When writing Unit Tests or Integration Tests for an API that exposes events, we need a way to validate that the events are called. The simplest approach would be to set a variable when the event is called. In the test itself we can sleep for a certain duration and check the variable:

Phoenix serves static files with a Plug.Static defined in the endpoint. But what if we want to serve additional static files from subpaths?

TIL is an open-source project by Hashrocket that exists to catalogue the sharing & accumulation of knowledge as it happens day-to-day.

A brief guide to build an extensible API client

Formating automatically each time a file is saved improves legibility and consistency, making it easier to spot mistakes.

How we can use the gen_statem behaviour to implement a resilient state machine that holds a connection to an external service.

Elixir makes it easy to build fast and scalable network applications. Here is a basic HTTP proxy server in less than 20 lines of Elixir code.

It’s time for another Elixir Alchemy! We'll learn by building today. We're building an HTTP server with a Plug adapter, which parses requests and builds responses so it can run Plug apps.

I thought it would be nice to make a streaming music service focused on bringing lo-fi artists and listeners together. Early on, I put together a series of prototypes to explore with a small group of listeners and artists. Since this is a technical article, I'll jump right into the requirements we arrived at, though I'd love to also do an article on the strategies and principles that guided our exploration.
