A software developer reports that AI has become so integral to their daily work that they no longer feel like a programmer, as AI handles understanding tickets, writing code, reviewing, and suggesting…
Tomasz Tomczyk created Crit, a Go CLI tool that provides a GitHub PR-style commenting interface for reviewing AI-generated plans and code. The tool, which gained nearly 500 GitHub stars in four months…
A developer replaced the standard text-based editing approach in coding agents with direct Elixir execution, enabling AST-aware refactoring. By giving the model full Elixir execution to edit files, th…
A developer argues that current coding agents fail due to excessive tooling, which pollutes context and causes errors. They propose a solution called eeva, a harness that uses a single Elixir Eval too…
Will Cromwell argues that Elixir and the Phoenix framework are the optimal tech stack for building AI-integrated applications, citing their ability to handle massive concurrency with minimal infrastru…
Elixir 1.20 shipped with a type system on June 3, 2026, aiming for soundness but admitting it is best-effort. A developer compared it with Rust and TypeScript, highlighting that Elixir uses set-theore…
A developer argues that balanced ternary (-1, 0, +1) could replace binary for AI hardware, citing 20× model compression, 3× inference speedup, and 8× power reduction. Microsoft's BitNet b1.58 demonstr…
Elixir and the Phoenix framework eliminate the need for separate services like Redis, Kubernetes, and Python sidecars by providing built-in concurrency, fault tolerance, real-time capabilities, and ML…
BeamWeaver, a new Elixir library, has been released to provide LangChain and LangGraph-style AI agents and durable LLM workflows natively on the BEAM. The library offers agents, graph workflows, strea…
Elixir v1.20 has been released, introducing a gradually typed system that performs type inference and type checking on all Elixir programs without requiring type annotations. The update enables Elixir…
A developer built a social arcade called Migo Games using Elixir on Phoenix for the backend and Swift with SpriteKit for native iOS and Mac apps, with web versions also available. The project was crea…
The article compares two consistent hashing approaches in Elixir: Discord's ExHashRing, which requires managing stateful processes, and Rendezvous (Highest Random Weight) hashing, which is a stateless…
**Summary:** The article introduces *bunnyx*, an open-source Elixir client library for interacting with the bunny.net CDN API. Developed by the author for use in their uptime monitoring project Larm…
A developer has created a structured prompt system for auditing Elixir and Erlang projects, defining two entry points: `audit_file/4` for single-file analysis and `audit_directory/2` for whole-package…
This article summarizes how the author built a blog using Elixir and the Phoenix framework, with blog posts generated from Markdown files via NimblePublisher and compiled at build time for performance…
This article by Johanna Larsson on the AppSignal blog explains how to build a distributed rate limiter in Elixir using the HashRing library. It covers the implementation of consistent hashing to evenl…
The article explains that Elixir uses Erlang's `:queue` module, which provides a double-ended FIFO (first-in, first-out) data structure for efficiently adding and removing items from both ends. It not…
This article provides an introductory overview of using ETS (Erlang Term Storage) in Elixir and Erlang, focusing on basic patterns for table management and practical usage. It explains how ETS offers …
