Ash: A Gentle Primer

Can a willing reader pitch Ash Framework in a few lines for me please? What is its killer feature vs Phoenix? Also, is it compatible, or does it have an alternative to LiveView?

I have been writing Elixir full time since 2018, and I quite like Phoenix, warts and all. Can a willing reader pitch Ash Framework in a few lines for me please? What is its killer feature vs Phoenix? Also, is it compatible, or does it have an alternative to LiveView?

Ash isn’t an alternative to Phoenix. It’s an alternative to Ecto. It’s a data layer that uses Ecto under the hood.

If you read the first few paragraphs of the linked tutorial, I think you’ll have a pretty decent understanding of what it does.

You can use Ash with Phoenix and Liveview.

For those expecting something else (Almquist shell) https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-10/src/bin/... https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-10/src/bin/...

Also known as Dash in Debian (it's satandard POSIX shell) and sh in Busybox that sadly tainted the original BSD source file with GPL2.
