    Multi-dimensional arrays (tensors) and numerical definitions for Elixir (by elixir-nx)

  • It's my professional daily driver since 2018 but I consider it an average-to-disappointing language and ecosystem on top of an incredible VM/runtime. For more specific thoughts, back in 2020 I've previously posted some critique here and very little of these concerns are improved in the interim. There is a vestigial ML story around libraries like Nx/Axon. LiveView is inadvisable in practice but is sort of the banner marketing device right now, which disappoints me.

    Nx-powered Neural Networks

  • gleam

    ⭐️ A friendly language for building type-safe, scalable systems!

  • Slightly related to elixir: Gleam is being developed in Rust and runs on the same VM/OTP runtime as Elixir! It also works great together with Elixir and Erlang.
