Elixir use cases outside of the web and IoT

Hi all, I’ve posted here several times, but I’m still quite new here :slight_smile:

I was wondering if anyone is using Elixir in a context that isn’t related to IoT or the web which I believe comprise the most common use cases.

I’ve recently discovered Elixir and I love it but at this stage, I’ve only used it with Phoenix alone (which is also amazing, I’ve gotta say).

Looking forward to hearing from you! :slight_smile:

Cheers

Depends on the protocol. I’ve working prototypes of DALI (lighting protocol) and KNX (building automation) stacks completely in Elixir (except for a few lines of C for hard-realtime stuff). Certainly both are really slow (1200 and 9600 bit/s), but still.

Implementing a protocol with binary pattern matching is just great. You can literally copy the specs. Coming from C this is just mind-blowing for me at the moment.

Kind of amusing given your handle :wink:

I open sourced the Elixir library ex_ari
