A new Elixir company has joined the party.

Physical access control and related security products. They'll be at NervesConf & Goatmire Elixir to tell you about their work with migrating their cloud to Elixir and creating a Nerves product.
A big thanks for their sponsorship!
Nerves will be using Raspberry Pi tryboot to resist bad kernel upgrades and more. It is nice to see that we can bring Raspberry Pi ever closer to parity with the more commercially focused boards as so many get their start on these lovely boards:

This is how I do test-driven development in Elixir. This function is saved in .config/fish/functions so it preloads whenever I open the terminal. Fish shell is the one I've been using forever.
Then I can do either
onchange test/indie/domains_test.exs
OR
onchange test/indie/domains_test.exs --only dnssec
If I want to run specific tags only.
The selection for the Goatmire Elixir - Even Access / Diversity tickets happens on the 20th.
This is most useful to people who are local since we can't cover travel or accomodation. But anyone is welcome to apply for the free ticket. Details at the link.

Two days of bug-hunting concluded 🙄 #elixir
I make this mistake at least once per year.
I'm speaking at CodeBEAM Europe 2025! 😁
I'll be exploring how Gleam's type system naturally fits with Domain-Driven Design principles. The language's structs, union types, and functional approach let you model business domains in ways that are both technically sound and genuinely understandable to domain experts.
Plus, you get all the reliability and concurrency benefits that come with running on the BEAM.
See you in Berlin this November!

Looking for two brilliant women to join my #elixir team at femtasy.
See Julie's, my CEO, post on LinkedIn and the job ad for details:

🙈 There's some #ruby code too.
Gleam is an interesting new functional programming language. It is an ML-family language with syntax very similar to Rust, but it's not a replacement.
If you like Rust and don't like Go (or Elixir's Ruby syntax), Gleam might be worth considering for I/O bound applications needing high concurrency.
Gleam can also replace Elm on the browser. Code written in Gleam is apparently 30% faster than hand-written JavaScript.
If you are planning to go to Goatmire Elixir, don't delay. There are limited tickets and if we get any kind of rush towards the end they are likely to sell out.
This is not me trying to give you a sense of false urgency. We have about 40 tickets left and we can't expand. That's just how it is. Essentially 150 people + 30 speakers + a few volunteers.
