Elixir - What's Wall B?

We talk with Mitchell Hanberg and learn about why he created the alternate Phoenix templating language called “Temple”. He explains how Temple works, some of its unique benefits and where he's going with it in the future. Mitchell also took over maintenance of the testing project Wallaby from Chris Keathley. We revisit what Wallaby is and the special place it can have when building automated full system tests for our projects.
