I'm currently considering switching from hCaptcha to https://altcha.org for Keila Cloud. Does anybody have real-world experience with large-scale Altcha deployments (bonus if with #Elixirlang)? #webdev #buildinpublic
News includes Hackney v3.1.0 with pure @erlang_org HTTP/3 support, Hornbeam running #Python apps on the BEAM, the Easel Canvas 2D drawing library for LiveView, Hologram v0.7.0 reaching 96% Erlang runtime coverage, and more! #ElixirLang @elixirlang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBuH_Pkfj28

🔗 After many months of work, we have cut the first (and second!) release candidate v0.1.0-rc.1 for the #ElixirLang Expert language server. This has been a huge effort by a number of people and we thank you for the patience and support!
This release marks that effort to combine Lexical and Next LS has reached stability and developers can migrate over without fear that their development workflow will be broken.
(Need to try this out.)

This is a huge milestone for the new #ElixirLang LSP.
At Jump, we’ve had Paweł Świątkowski (katafrakt on the internet) working full time getting Expert dialed in for our large codebase. The stability and reliability are now hands down the best Elixir LSP experience I’ve had, and we’re not done yet.
Congrats to all the contributors! 🥂

Anybody have contacts at PagerDuty? I’d love to ask them about their usage of #ElixirLang. They had a blog post in 2020 about it, but I can’t find anything they’ve written since then.
“ Why Elixir is the best language for AI”
> immutability enables local reasoning
> documentation quality ensures good training signal
> stability means the training signal stays correct over time.
And, “ well-suited for the iterative workflow of coding agents”, because of:
> fast compilation
> strong typing, favoring detailed warnings over compilation errors
> reduced operational complexity thanks to Erlang VM
> introspection capabilities thanks to Erlang VM

Shout out to Eduardo, the awesome maintainer of Solid, an Elixir implementation of the Liquid templating language that we use in Keila. I filed a bug report last night, submitted a PR - and he's already published a new release! #opensource #elixirlang

Looks like Reactor has reached v1.0.0!
Updating Keila to Phoenix 1.7 and LifeView 1.x was no small task - but I think it's worth it! https://github.com/pentacent/keila/pull/498/files
The Phoenix 1.8 update will probably come together with a UI revamp - a good chance to migrate to the new view-less structure. #elixirlang #opensource #buildinpublic
