What are your Elixir plans for 2019?

I want to finish Phoenix in Action. Get Elixir - Phoenix to work with a Graphql API, which means I have to learn Graphql as well. I want to find a web UI that I can work with. One that I can use Elixir-Phoenix-Ecto-Graphql as a backend with. I really like the ones made by Devexpress & Syncfusion but these are for .Net - though maybe they would work with my backend in JSON? I would like to hook up with a user group here in L.A. once I’m more comfortable with the language. It would be nice to get involved with an open source project to the extent that I can.

once I’m more comfortable with the language

I went to my first elixir meetup in LA, last week.

It was about Floki webscrapping.

Many attendee seems to be new. I’m pretty new too.

Interesting idea. I will start to gather and organize notes!

I started on a new project to build a compiler for the Snowball language. Its a specialised language but I’ve started on some NLP algoriths in a new package called Text which does simple language detection today. But the next set of algorithms need stemming hence a snowball compiler. I also like that it was born of the SNOBOL programming language. I remember doing the Towers of Hanoi problem in Snobol at university, The project will compile Snowball to Elixir AST and generate modules from that.
