As the title says, please share what you’ve been up to with Elixir. Whether that’s been learning it, looking into it, making stuff with it or anything else related to it …we’re a curious bunch here
I am…
Checking in on this forum
Looking out for interesting blogs/posts on Twitter (will cross post any good ones here)
Going to install Spacemacs
Then finally, just before it’s time to go to bed - read some more of Programming Elixir
It’s a collection of algorithms and data structures with the aim of being the most complete one for Elixir and maybe become part of the “standard library”. We’re already 3/4 people working on it.
I tried Spacemacs yesterday, but I didn’t understand how it works? I’ve never used Emacs before and it seems really weird and not intuitive at all! Maybe you could make a post about it if you get around with it?
I’ve been working on Finance / Fintech related projects in Elixir, like this small library which parses the SEC (Securities & Exchange Commission)'s XML Feed and returns maps of company filings. It’s here if you want to take a look!
I’ve just been automating the bonus day system for the competition/forum… so now I just need to add a list of bonus days at the start of the month and they’ll automatically get announced on the forum
I think I can now finally get back into reading PE1.2
reading programming elixir again (well, 1.2 now) but actually doing all the exercises
glancing at metaprogramming elixir
reading and working through programming phoenix
browsing this site
creating a word game helper/solving to try and force thinking in processes
just today agreeing to give an elixir 101 talk to some co-workers in a few weeks
Is posting code and asking for thoughts/review something encouraged here? If so, what label would make the most sense? I find I still feel really clumsy when writing elixir code.
Depending on the level, you may want to post in Learning Elixir or Advanced Elixir. Learning Elixir has more traffic, but, given your projects, Advanced Elixir may be more appropriate.
Maybe we need an “Elixir Programming” category? There’s an awful lot of ground between Learning and Advanced
