I just posted a write up about implementing a Multi like function for soft_delete_all/5. It’s mostly syntactic sugar for Multi.update_all/5 but the project makes heavy use of soft deletes so I thought it made sense to implement it like update_all/5:

“It doesn’t even have static types!”

“The VM is heavy because I like Rust.”

I started playing with Elixir’s Explorer library, trying to implement some code from python for time-series ML.
I wrote about the whole process, with code and benchmarks, if anyone is interested:

Preparing Financial Time Series for ML in Elixir: Going FAST with Explorer & a C NIF
ML in Elixir is getting more and more popular every day!
Working with Time Series in Elixir might sound like the best idea but turns out it is much faster and easier than you think! And together with NIFs we can really optimize performance. Together with Elixir’s beautiful syntax we can do A LOT and very fast. This is only the beginning!
