No new release just yet, but thought I’d send an update.
Thanks to the changes in OTP 20 and Elixir 1.5, ElixirScript was rewritten and can now support almost all Elixir features besides receive. More information is in this blog post.
Another addition is a change in JavaScript interoperability with an FFI module. More information on that can be found here
Next I’ve update the Todo Example to work with ElixirScript in master. I have taken the react parts in made it into a library that it uses. Showing how an ElixirScript library could look. Basically a normal mix project with javascript files in the priv folder if neeeded.
Most of the work now is implementing whatever Erlang calls Elixir makes in JavaScript. That’s where contributions to the project are definitely the most helpful. The other is in fixing bugs that appear along the way.
For a release, hoping to have something before ElixirConf.
P.S: receive
Want to support this eventually. I would like to be able to implement a process system in JavaScript using async/await and use that in ElixirScript, but my brain can’t quite grasp how to do so. Any help there would be appreciated
Edit: Or using the current implementation that uses generators is a possibility, but async functions seem to play better with normal javascript functions.
