215: Bob gets busy and Google's in trouble
Thinking Elixir Podcast
Navigating Erlang Dependencies and Sonic Pi Support
This chapter discusses the integration of prebuilt binaries for Erlang to streamline setup for newcomers, while examining the potential limitations due to optional dependencies in Mac OS. It highlights developments in Sonic Pi, encourages support for its growth, and reviews recent enhancements in Elixir LS that improve debugging in VS Code.
News includes a new video by German Velasco explaining quote and unquote in Elixir macros, updates on the Hex.pm “Bob” project for pre-built Elixir and Erlang binaries, Sonic Pi sponsorships and support from Dashbit, the release of ElixirLS v0.23.0, and Google's recent antitrust ruling. We also cover new developments with the Error Tracker library, Florian Arens' guide to building a Phoenix HEEx component, and upcoming events at ElixirConf 2024, and more!
