What's next (for OTP/Elixir)?
I’m looking for some good articles on where OTP and Elixir are heading in their next releases.
I’m aware of the OTP blog entry that touches on polling IO in OTP 21: I/O polling options in OTP 21 - Erlang/OTP
Any other resources/roadmaps/presentations that people in the know could share?
Same thing for Elixir. I hear that a major theme for Elixir 1.7 is easier production deployment support/tooling, but I could be wrong. Does anyone have anything more authoritative?

Another good check of what’s coming up is checking out this years BEAM community google summer of code projects:
- dialyzer support in elixir itself
- Tensorflow bindings for elixir
- Monitoring performance of elixir packages with elixir bench
- Elixir bindings for BarrelDB
- MySQL driver for ecto
- automate generation of StreamData denerators from type specs (if I understood correctly)
@AstonJ I’m usually not a fan of video courses, but I love PragDave (can anyone guess where my name comes from?
) and with such a glowing recommendation from you I might give it a shot.
@CptnKirk asdf is great, my only version manager for 1.5 years on 3 different machines.

Also, not strictly linked to anything official - but I can’t wait for PragDave’s next course. He gave us a really good glimpse of what’s possible with how we go about architecting our Elixir apps in his first course, and I think once he expands on that in his second course a l o t of people are going to jump aboard. I really do think this could be huge for Elixir - his approach is radical, smart and really really exciting!
Can you tell I am really excited by it all? ![]()

Another alternative is to check out the Erlang conferences, used to be called EUC and Erlang Factory, now called Code BEAM as there is usually a talk by someone from the OTP team telling what is in the pipeline.

The answer to what is next in the Elixir vNEXT roadmap is the same as always: Issues · elixir-lang/elixir · GitHub ![]()
