159: Langchain with Elixir and Safe Ecto Migrations

Mark and David share what's caught their interests and focus. Langchain is a popular framework in JS and Python communities for building services that knit together different services enabling people to quickly build impressive demos. Mark talks about the parts of Langchain that interest him and how he's been building ways for Elixir apps to play in that space too. We also catch up with David’s job change, moving, and talk about his ideas around using Oban for managing data migrations in a new way.

158: From Ruby to Elixir with Steve Bussey

A challenge for many people learning Elixir is the change in the mental model. Coming from OOP to Functional changes how we reason about our applications and the old way doesn't always map over cleanly. Also, Elixir is capable of doing a lot more than other languages and frameworks can and this means learning how to build a “normal” application may change. We talk with Steve Bussey about his new book “From Ruby to Elixir” that aims to help people bridge that gap. While the title says “Ruby”, we discuss how many of the concepts apply to people coming from most OOP languages. We talk about different libraries to recommend to people coming from a traditional Rails stack and more!

157: Adding Dialyzer Late in the Game

Dialyzer is something that eventually everyone hears about in the Elixir community. It's a static code analysis tool that has both fans and detractors, and with good reasons on both sides! We talk with Noah Betzen about how he brought Dialyzer to several mature Elixir projects. He wanted the benefits of finding and fixing bugs and to prevent new problems from being added. He shared tools, strategies and other resources for how to get started without stopping everything to fix all the existing problems. If you've ever tried to add Dialyzer to a project and aborted, then this discussion may give you the courage and the tools to try again!

156: React to LiveView for Performance

When their React app stuttered and slowed with the hundreds of items they needed to display, Tim Gremore tried it out as a LiveView rendered page and found they could scale to thousands without issue. The LiveView version was so responsive the users thought it must not be working because there was no delay to register the changes! Tim shares their journey migrating a service from React to LiveView to solve their issue. He shares tips, what they learned in the process and more!

153: Elixir Tools and Language Servers

Language servers are an important part of modern developer tooling. Mitch Hanberg has made this his new focus with gen_lsp, a generic language server behaviour that he then implemented a Credo language server on top of. Yes, that's right, Credo! We learn what that means and what his new elixir-tools Github organization is intended to do. Listen to Mich share his vision for what Elixir dev tools could be like! We get an update on his Temple project, an alternative to Phoenix templates, we learn about an existing Elixir formatter plugin that may reformat code more to your liking and more!

152: Rust and Elixir Play Great Together

Rust is a popular lower level language and the community has created a number of libraries to solve different problems. We talk with Jason Stiebs, a Phoenix Core Team member, about how Elixir and Rust can play well together. Jason wrote an article about how he leveraged an image processing library available in Rust by using the Elixir Rustler package. We talk about how Rustler works through NIFs, and we learn how easy using Rustler has become. It's great to understand that we have a powerful escape hatch like Rustler for those times we need it. We also get Jason’s insights into the Phoenix project and talk about the importance of improving the developer experience when a LiveView crashes and more!

151: Peeking inside the Livebook

Recently Livebook had its first launch week. We met with Jonatan Kłosko, the developer behind most of the exciting new features, to learn what some of these additions are, how they actually work and what's coming with the new Teams feature. Jonatan shares some of his favorite unsung features and where the new apps ability may go in the future. Livebook is an important community project and it's fun getting a deeper look inside!
