Exploring Elixir Processes through Music

ElixirConf US 2024 - Stephanie Lane
Welcome to ElixirConf

Have you ever wanted to hear your code processing?

This talk will focus on different ways Elixir can execute processes and will attach sounds to them. What does asynchronous processing sound like? How about a supervision tree? A task that gets spawned in the middle of other processes? Will we make a beautiful tune or a cacophony?

By the end of the talk we should have a better understanding of how Elixir executes code!

Comments welcome! View the elixirconf tag for more ElixirConf talks!

Sound is a brilliant way to demonstrate this stuff. It feels a lot more “real” to hear output happen in real time over reading some text with timestamps spat out by stdout. While Doomguy visits the BEAM also does this very effectively, this is far more feasible to break out for live-coding teaching moments. Great talk, well done!
