I really like the idea of discussing one Elixirconf talk each day and since @brightball hasn’t posted the second talk I’ll post it.
ElixirConf 2017: My Journey from Go to Elixir - Veronica Lopez
Go and Elixir are powerful and popular tools with a similar goal, but with a different approach. As a seasoned Go developer, I used to look at Elixir from a safe distance, till its fault tolerance capabilities and Phoenix made it impossible to ignore. This talk will describe how Elixir works compared to Go, beyond simple performance benchmarking or syntax preferences, instead focusing on tooling, development environment, and the BEAM internals (compared to the CSP model) that make Elixir shine as a language to build elegant and strong distributed systems.

Hooray! Please keep the trend alive.

This talk didn’t speak to me directly too much, just because I have essentially zero experience with Go. That said, I could appreciate that it was a technically well constructed talk. I really love the lengths Veronica went to not to throw shade at either side.
