I've been active in the Nerves community ever since 2019 when I made it control a small eInk display. It was and is a welcoming group of Elixir nerds and BEAM huggers that do fun stuff with hardware. This is also why I insist on gathering them at Goatmire Elixir. Some do it professionally, some for fun. What makes it nice for developers also seems to make it nice for agents. Or for edge AI startups. Or something. We see sneaky growth.
