Elixir is a great language, and I’ve used it successfully in production. However, one of the main challenges is the availability of experienced Elixir developers. I’d love to hear about your experience.
Elixir is already powering companies like Discord and Pinterest. It helps businesses reduce costs, improve process efficiency, and speed up time to market.💪
Here are five reasons why Elixir is a game-changer for businesses. ➡️ erlang-solutions.com/blog/5-ways-...
In the past, I hated writing documentation. However, things have changed, and now I enjoy it because I’ve changed my perspective. I write documentation to teach others about the challenges and the solutions.
In the past, I thought writing docs was just a waste of time and that nobody read them.
These days, more than writing code, I’m writing documentation.
TTCN-3 is great, especially with the ETSI libraries. However, implementing codecs, test ports, and external functions requires a lot of effort. So I decided to design a test DSL in Elixir and reuse the existing codecs and functions to test our implementation.
Opinionated frameworks like Spring Boot are great for starting out and building an MVP quickly. However, when you need to customize something, it often takes time to figure out where to make the change. I’m glad that in Phoenix 1.8 we now have a more explicit way to handle multiple layouts.

We made it work, we made it beautiful, now we must make it fast--fast enough to deliver content to thousands of clients in a fraction of the time.
I just introduced the GSO concept; however, since we cannot use it directly in Elixir, we need to implement a NIF.

I just finished migrating a Phoenix project from version 1.7 to 1.8. Now I can use hook colocation in LiveView components.
State machines are first-class citizens in telecom projects. While OTP’s :gen_statem provides great facilities for implementing them, testing remains challenging. This is where property-based testing proves highly valuable.

One of my previous companies decided to switch the product language from Elixir to Go. One of the reasons behind this decision was the difficulty in finding and onboarding Elixir developers. I'd love to hear your thoughts or solutions for addressing this challenge.

I use the inertia-phoenix adapter. Svelte compiles the pages to static assets, and I just use the Phoenix web server.

I usually use Elixir to develop infrastructure services. However, sometimes I need to develop some UI for configuration or visualizing system status. Recently, I switched from LiveView to InertiaJS and Svelte because of the lack of ready-to-use web components in LiveView.
Elixir 1.19 is a banger! Honestly I'm so pleased with the direction that #ElixirLang is going. My programs just get faster and more correct every time. I just know that we're in good hands. Thank you to everyone on the team for your hard work!

I convinced another colleague to learn Elixir and Erlang. After seeing the development speed and the readily available tools for telecom projects, such as the Diameter stack and ASN.1 compiler, he was convinced to learn Elixir and Erlang.
