I think this is the best news all week! Congrats to the Elixir team. I love working with Elixir. Hopefully I will be able to contribute to the ecosystem soon. Excited about the future.

Re: Elixir 1.5 released
#12It's a fast-paced development! That's pretty great. I hope core team would consider slowing down a bit and catch up with Deployment, Monitoring(which Phoenix team working on it) and Platform(e.g. http/2) departments.
v1.5 seems to have a bunch of bug fixes and deprecation (Hah! I'm not sure if it's like move fast and break thing). It is potentially the case.
In every important part, there seems to have a solo smart person working on it. E.g. Cowboy(I know it's erlang but Phoenix depends on it significantly), Distillery. That could be a good thing. Less people may catch up with each other faster. It also mean a load of works! And also mean some convention are out of sync (e.g. configuration which I think Conform is the proper way lately)

It is definitely not the case. :) If anything breaks, please fill in a bug report and it will be fixed immediately.

Yep, sure! I love Elixir a lot and didn't mean to complain anything <3 Thanks, you and all team members :)

No worries and thank you! This feedback is important and I saw an opportunity to clarify our "no breaking changes" rule.
Re: Elixir 1.5 released
#16Elixir is truly an under-appreciated language. I've only toyed with it, and I'm really impressed with the whole ecosystem. Elixir, Phoenix, Ecto, Hex, etc all make a great ecosystem, and the awesomeness that is BEAM/OTP is just amazing. I loved the hot code deploys, and updating a system while it's running is something I've never seen before in action. Also Rustler is a great way to write CPU intensive NIF code too.
How is it "under-appreciated"? I feel like for such a young language it already has a great popularity.

#17Official announcement: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2017/07/25/elixir-v1-5-0-releas... We have published a draft version of the announcement since the release notes are not super helpful for those unfamiliar with Elixir. Is it possible to update the link to the official announcement? Thank you! EDIT: We are done with the changes on the draft. We've added asciicinema snippets to show some features, improved the sectio…
Thanks for your (and everyone else's) work on Elixir, José! This plus Phoenix 1.3 at the end of the week is great news. <3

I'll take a crack at this. Elixir lays a really nice syntax, set of tools, and community over top of Erlang/OTP which are already amazing. While the language is new and increasingly popular, it is arguably not widely/well appreciated how nice and solid the language/ecosystem is at this point in its lifecycle.

I can feel that this feeling comes from perceiving hard-core FP perspective. I could be wrong :)

What percent of new code around the world is being written in it? .25% maybe? That seems not that appreciated to me.
