What are some interesting new developments that happened in the last 2 years
Hi all,
I hope this is the right place for this kind of question. I’ve been out of elixir development for about 2 years and I was wondering what new things are worth taking a look at, in the language, libraries,… And what are the things that are on the short horizon?
The last things that were in development, if I remember correctly were liveview and telemetry.
I know this kind of a broad question, but I’d love to have some kind of overview about the things you’re excited about that happened in the last 2 years

Someone will unavoidably come along and talk about LV, and I’ll leave it to them. I personally think some of the best developments have been gaining our own Elixir native, process-less HTTP client in Mint, and the compiler-tracing features in Elixir 1.10 opening opportunities like the Boundary library. It also helped with analyses about improving compile times and automating solutions to improve project-local compilation speed.

I’m in a similar situation, coming back to elixir after working with .net for over a year.
I got a lot from reading over the Ecto 3 Changelog
With named bindings, CTEs, correlated subqueries / lateral joins, window functions and json path, you can write “modern sql” in ecto syntax quite nicely!
There continues to be a lot of buzz around typed beam languages. TypeCheck and Norm look like useable library-level tools for runtime checks in Elixir. Then there’s languages like gleam and hamler are looking promising too.

The work being done by the otp team seems promising:
