Issue #10: Object Orientation, Insanity and Generating 3,000 Thumbnails per Minute
Every Thursday: No frills, no click-through, no spam.
Here's what the latest issue looks like:
Welcome to Issue #10
Woohoo! We made it to Issue #10, which is a rather lean one.
But don't be fooled by it's relative slimness: There are some goodies at the end, like Saša talking about High availability with Elixir and Erlang at Full Stack Fest and a nice photo gallery from ElixirConf.
This week in Elixir
5 emerging programming languages with a bright future

Object Orientation in Ruby and Elixir
Mike shows us how the lines between object-oriented and functional programming blur. Interesting read, even for non-Rubyists!
Insanity with Elixir, Phoenix and PostgreSQL
This is not a "how to build a blog" article. If you do what Barry is about to do, people will look at you funny (and probably should).
3,000 Thumbnails per Minute on Heroku Free Dyno
Have you ever tested speed of Elixir on Heroku using OTP? What about generating 3,000 thumbnails per minute on a Heroku Free Dyno?
Composable APIs with Elixir pipes
Taking lessons from Plug and Ecto, this article shows how they manage to create composable and intuitive APIs that fit well into pipe chains.

Questions & Answers
Can I submit things I made to be included in the next issue?
Yes! Simply post them to ElixirStatus and you can be sure that they land on my radar.
Is my email address safe with you?
Yes. I'd like to consider myself a trustworthy individual, but then who doesn't?
I am, however, an active member of the open-source Elixir community and the maintainer of Credo and ElixirStatus. I will NOT ruin my reputation by selling your data to a third party.
Why do you require me to confirm my email address?
I just believe that requiring double opt-in to subscribe to any email-based system is a win for both parties: You are safe from unintentionally subscribing and I can be confident that you actually own the email address and want to receive the newsletter I send you :)
