dialyxir VS Elixir

For those of you who are interested by Elixir but find the lack of static typing an issue here are somethings to be aware of:

1. Static Typing is planned and currently the top priority of the team

2. There is a type checking tool

3. You can go a long way with pattern matching and guides in the meantime and have alot more guarantees that a typical dynamic typed language.

There's the combo typespecs, dialyzer and dialixyr, with heavy emphasis on "optional". It's polarizing and imperfect and currently the best we've got. Many community hex packages including some of the ones you're interested in don't really make use of them, which reduces some of the utility.

The thing with Elixir's Protocols is that it is not currently possible to express that some type does support our Greet.greet for Elixir's type checker. But, this is not a big deal for Elixir, which is 100% dynamically typed.

I’m on MacOS and erlang.org, elixir-lang.org, and postgresql.org all suggest installation via Homebrew, which is a very popular package manager for MacOS.

But regardless of their reasons, they'll note that the service is easily meeting its SLOs. It was written in a highly performant, if idiosyncratic language, and uses patterns which give it a high level of resilience and the ability to recover from many situations automatically. The service is steady as a rock, and left to its own devices will more or less chug along indefinitely once deployed.

6. Elixir - $96,381

The Elixir 1.16 release candidate is out now, and it comes with some compelling improvements to diagnostics, documentation, and a few other enhancements that make Elixir an even better choice for developers.

You can find more examples in the PR https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/pull/13106.

As you might have guessed, one of the main use cases for entr is to rerun tests whenever files change. I'm an Elixir engineer, and I use entr to run mix test continuously whenever I save an Elixir file.

The diagram demonstrates the communication pathway between the browser and the Postgres database through the Electric service. Essentially, Electric Sync Service, an Elixir application, orchestrates active-active data replication between the user's local DB and Postgres.

The Elixir programming language is no stranger to desktop applications as the language actually supports building them out of the box. It uses wxWidgets: a C++ library that lets developers create applications for Windows, macOS, Linux and other platforms with a single code base. But wxWidgets has a very complex API, and doesn’t solve issues that usually come with desktop applications around packaging.

Hi everyone, I just launched Podsee(https://pods.ee) for podcast listeners, lovers. You can search and listen to podcasts at Podsee. What makes it different is that you can get the AI transcript for an episode.

It started as a side project after I resigned my job one year ago. As a programmer, I love Elixir (http://elixir-lang.org/) and Phoenix LiveView(https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view), and want to make a product with it. So I build Podsee.

I'm planning to add more AI features to it, like summarize the episode audio, episode to comics, etc.

I'd love to invite you all to try out the product and would appreciate hearing your feedback! Thanks!
