The proper announcement can also be found on our page: http://elixir-lang.org/blog/2016/06/21/elixir-v1-3-0-release... It is slightly better formatted and contains images from the graph commands and ExUnit diff format.

Congrats ! Very welcome improvements, you guys are doing an amazing job

Thank you (and the whole elixir team) for all the work you do on this. I've been building my startup's app with ember and elixir and it's going really well.

I recently had to go back to a rails app to do some work and missed some Elixir features already and I've started writing my ruby code in a very elixir way. (well, a functional way).

Awesome! Elixir is quickly becoming my new go to language for the web apps and more.

Come for concurrency, stay for metaprogramming. :-)

Looks great. Any clue when this will be up on Homebrew?

If you're like me and didn't want to wait, it's a dead-simple build if you want to DIY:

    cd /usr/local/src
    git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git
    cd elixir
    git checkout v1.3.0
    make clean test
    PREFIX=/usr/local/elixir-1.3.0 make install
And then add /usr/local/elixir-1.3.0/bin to your $PATH.

I've never really looked into Elixir. I'm a Python guy and readability is the first thing that makes me love or hate a new language. Considering I've always found Erlang fairly obtuse visually I am surprised by how easy on the eye Elixir is.

I found this quote very telling:

> "Elixir is simply the first language since Ruby to really care about code beauty and UX of the language, libraries and ecosystem."

(found here: http://ruby2elixir.github.io/posts/2015/12-29-what-makes-eli... )

(Of course they meant 'Python' instead of 'Ruby' but hey ;-) )
