This week in Elixir

Elixir jumps a level on ThoughtWorks' Technology Radar
Although I am not sure about Technology Radars as a means to do evaluations, I do really like that Elixir (and Phoenix) pick up interest from ThoughtWorks :)

How to link your Java application to Elixir/Erlang
If you are developing an Elixir/Erlang application and you discover a use case where you need to use Java code in your app, Omar shows you how it can work.

Strategies for Migrating a Phoenix App on Heroku
Sam wrote a post for those of you who have deployed to Heroku and are sick of running `heroku run mix ecto.migrate`.

Javascript-style Destructuring for Elixir
Daniel provides a simple enhancement for Elixir’s already excellent pattern matching, to make it a little less verbose.

GenStage · Elixir School
The advanced lessons in Elixir School are coming along pretty great!

Kerosene v0.5.0 released
A new version of kerosene is out with postgrex v0.12 support.

html_sanitize_ex v1.1.0 released
I just released v1.1.0 of html_sanitize_ex, which includes a new scrubber. Use HtmlSanitizeEx.markdown_html/1 to sanitize HTML generated by a Markdown parser :)

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 :)
