Papers We Love - Elixir Edition
20 Mins
Talk
Beginner
Elixir is a modern programming language built for concurrency, robustness, and maintainability. Although the Elixir team comes from “industry” backgrounds, the history of Elixir is full of cases where the team has reached for existing research in order to solve problems arising with the language. For example, we based our implementation of a code formatter on a series of papers on pretty printing and formatting code. In this talk, I’d like to go share our learnings and experiences as a bunch of industry folks getting help from academia to approach and tackle real-world problems and come up with real-world solutions.

BEAM Architecture Handbook
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
If you are writing a stateless web application backed up by a database, there is a good chance Elixir is a great fit. However, this is not where it shines. In this talk, we will discuss how to architect Elixir applications in order to leverage the features of the language and of its runtime.
We will look at this both from a lower level, talking about the architecture of processes inside an Elixir application, as well as from a higher perspective of writing Elixir services and architecting systems to play to Elixir's strengths. We will see practical use cases and discuss design patterns. -
