Not really. Working on a 2+ year, large, monolithic phoenix liveview app at Spotify. VS Code runs dialyzer on file save, which shows type mismatches. I also run dialyzer on pre-com…

Google does provide elixir clients for most of their products: https://github.com/googleapis/elixir-google-api

I have https://elixirdaily.link (an elixir/beam news aggregator running) on the smallest, free Gigalixir VM just fine. Does a ton of memory intensive work and doesn't go OOM (had t…

1.5 years in and Phoenix Liveview is perfect for internal webapps. Have personally seen development take half as much time with half as much people compared to traditional stacks. …

For completeness, you should check out Elixir and Phoenix (channels and presence) for the server. Easy websockets, isolated player processes, non-blocking VM, plus deep introspecti…

A talk in ElixirConf this year showed that the pipe operator in Elixir is just a macro. A Code BEAM V conf Q&A with Jose had a (playful, trolling) question about implementing right…

In the terminal, type 'open .' to open the current directory into a finder window.

Cheers for mentioning the closure compiler; I'll look into it. I haven't noticed much literature on its use in current build systems; I guess r.js gets all the fame due to its easi…

Interesting. Something else that I should have included as a con for 3 is that Backbone would then be a requirement for the model-based solution. It sacrifices flexibility for smal…
