Thanks for the talk link, it completely kept me engrossed and was a pleasure to watch! Addendum question: what is the state of database drivers for Elixir? Does it have mature libraries for Postgres for eg? I imagine if it's targeting web development, it will need those.
Elixir has Ecto, which is not-quite an ORM but is the de-facto standard for database access in Elixir/Phoenix. https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.html
Thank you!
