Is anyone writing or plans to write a book titled "Data Structures and Algorithms in Elixir"?

I wish there was a book or video course titled Data Structures and Algorithms in Elixir or Function Data Structures and Algorithms in Elixir.
I googled and found a course on Packt called Functional Data Structures and Algorithms
but when I further investigated it uses Scala.

Fundamentally a lot of the pure data structures share a lot of the same core theory. I highly recommend https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/theses/okasaki.pdf

The https://elixiroutlaws.com/ podcasts will discuss the theses mentioned by @benwilson512 that also exists as a book Purely Functional Data Structures.

Maybe @keathley can tell more about in what episode it will discuss it.

Hopefully we should be doing a full review in a few weeks. Anna is at CodeBeamSTO this week so we’ll probably be talking about that and following up on some config things (hopefully with some friends of the show ). Ideally it’ll be after that but I can’t promise that since its up to the other hosts to read it XD.
