YouTube video by Code Sync How Elixir Powers the BBC From PoC to Production at Scale - Ettore Berardi | ElixirConf EU 2025

My talk at #ElixirConfEU is live!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e99Q...

It's all about how we use #Elixir and #OTP at the #BBC. Please have a look and let me know what you think 🙂

Peter Ullrich: Making Elixir Easy to Learn The BeamRadio panel chats about making Elixir easy for devs from other languages to learn and how to talk about Elixir in the greater development community.

“The problem with Elixir is that the community is just so nice!”

It's here! Your handy list of resources for learning Gleam ⭐

There was no Task.await_one(tasks) in @elixir-lang.org so I wrote one: gist.github.com/bcardarella/...

I had the same feeling, makes sense since it's not a Kernel guard

seems you have to import/require `Integer` first in order to use is_even as a guard 🤔

Samurai Jack is a classic. And it's fueled by its rich images -- the backgrounds, animation and visual storytelling.

Genndy Tartakovsky was sick of dialogue. He wanted to take a risk on a visual series, and Cartoon Network supported it. We explore:

If you saw me last week at ElixirConf, you might have seen my Nerves-powered eink name badge

It can show a couple of static images and take a picture with the camera to display on the screen

Working on putting everything in a GitHub repo this week in case anyone wants to make one of their own!

Did you know that the BBC serves almost all of its web traffic using @elixirlang.bsky.social ?

#elixirlang

Let’s recap:

BBC uses custom Elixir DSLs to serve

📈 600m+ monthly unique views
💻 12 servers (down from 100
🧑‍💻 7 #elixirlang engineers!

Mind blowing! 🤯

He is doing a great job of evolving a new programming language that runs in the BEAM: Gleam.

First: pong against a wall. With an AI to play against the wall if you get tired. And fun particle effects. And a viewer of all live pong games at once

Released a new Phoenix library for real-time sync hexdocs.pm/phoenix_sync at @codebeam.bsky.social yesterday.

Check it out if you’re interested in building modern, real-time apps on local-first / sync in Elixir.

#myelixirstatus

Holy smokes this is awesome, a new debugger for Phoenix LiveView. Think React devtools, but not a chrome extension.

building bridges to the AT Protocol with Elixir!

decentralized social networks should be as fun to build as they are to use

WIP but already feeling the magic ✨

This is like going to a new school in the middle of the year

The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

A massive cloud of gas and dust is seen in dark, dusty red, with its outer portions a translucent, ethereal gray. Several stars and distant galaxies are scattered throughout the image.

A circular-shaped nebula with a complex structure. On the circle’s exterior, particularly on the left side of the image, are curtains of material glowing orange like fire. Interior to this outer shell is a ring of mottled filaments in bright pink, studded with clumps and knots. A greenish loop extends from the upper right of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green, and red appear throughout the image.

The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission nebula called NGC 6357, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster is seen here above a small portion of the nebula. The gas below the stars glows through ionization caused by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive young stars within the cluster. The strong radiation and stellar winds from from these blazing, blue-white stars also pushes the nebular material outward, creating one of many low-density bubbles within NGC 6357.

once again thinking about the fact that this is all just OUT THERE and we can only see it through the eyes of telescopes
