Episode 22: Total World Domination
Show Notes:
Total World Domination. Where Elixir goes and where the BEAM goes, they are doing a good job. The abstractions are right, the foundation is right and most folks aren't fighting with the tooling and the language and the runtime to achieve these amazing goals. Hosts discuss Liveview, Nerves, and Machine Learning and the BEAM ecosystem.
