Just heard @lawik on the #thinkingelixir podcast. I'm really excited to make 2025 the year I really seriously dive into #elixir and sounds like it's a great time to do so!
And just ordered an elixir shirt to make it official from the site Lars just launched. Check it out. Love what they're doing

@codemonkeymike thanks!

@codemonkeymike @lawik what do you find so appealing about Elixir, out of curiosity?
-
@josh @lawik mostly the scalability and power of the BEAM. I've seen first hand how easily web apps can scale to meet traffic on it.
But besides that, I like the functional paradigm and end up trying to code like that in PHP anyway.
And the big cherry on top is phoenix and liveview. Being able to write a modern full stack web app in just elixir without faffing around with js frameworks is tantalizing.
