I’ve started writing my first serious Phoenix app which scratches one of our companies’ own itches. Still feeling kind of overwhelmed since I haven’t really learned a new language since I encountered Ruby some eight years ago. The performance is amazing though and the documentation and community are great for such a young ecosystem.

Hi! I have been learning elixir programming constructs thru online tutorials. Tried setting up a Phoenix API too.

I am currently working a new theme.
I am going to call it the Alchemist theme and it will be available for TextMate, Sublime Text, Vim and Emacs/Spacemacs 
What do you think?
Edit: You can find it here: Elixify - a code editor theme for Elixir!

I figured out how to use GenServer to help me use the observer to find a problem in my code.

I’m waiting for my Pi3 and a nerves release supporting at least the basics such that I can experiment around with it. In the meantime I am planning around what to do with it.
Current plan:
- Use as a security cam which can be turn on/off by me and my wife via gestures (and facerecognition) [Might take a long route, so for the start, just start with a web interaface ;)]
- Room-climate-control (we already have a WiFi heating-vent, which we can only control via webinterface, but thats better than our son playing around and turning it on full in summer while putting it of in winter)

It’s mostly finished and I’ve been using it for the last few days in TextMate (it’s easier to make the theme for TextMate then port to the other editors than the other way around). I’ll give it a few more days and if I think it’s ok will start work on porting it over to Vim, Atom, Emacs, Sublime etc
It’s actually changed a bit since that screen

I use Vim… but have recently installed Spacemacs as I hear so many good things about it for Elixir dev 
Which editor do you use? I’ll let you know when its version is ready for a test drive if you like

Sure just give me a buzz if it’s ready.
I usually use sublime text but have just started to look into vim. vim is great and I was hearing good things about emacs too with its evil mode. Then recently just read some articles about Spacemacs and Alchemist though haven’t dived into it yet since I am still lacking time to freely explore it at the moment. How is Spacemacs then?
