Thanks for sharing @dgamidov!

A couple of things I am excited about from this presentation:

  • No more leaky scope by Elixir 2.0; making incremental improvement in 1.3 with the deprecation of imperative assignments
  • More Date datatypes
  • ExUnit pretty diff!! :heart_decoration:
    • This would be super helpful while developing chexx
  • Improvements to with are cool too

I don’t use these other features yet, but it’s fun to see the language progress.
