ElixirWeekly by @elixirstatus

Issue #9

ElixirConf is over and it could not have been better! Well, there could have been less noise from next door, but that is an insider joke for next year :)

I tried to collect some thoughts, articles and slide decks in this week's issue, while still giving room to all the great content produced next to the conference.

Remember: I send out last week's issue on Friday, which means this massive volume of Elixir news was created in a mere 5 days.

Impressions From My First ElixirConf
Nate wrote up some thoughts & impressions about ElixirConf from the perspective of an older developer who has a lot of experience in .Net and almost no experience in Ruby.

This little purple drop has brought together 542 people
SuperNullSet (if that's his real name) gives a great recollection of his first ElixirConf and the talks he attended.

What Keeps Me From Using Using Elixir
Scott answers the question "What Keeps You From Using Using Elixir?" This makes for an interesting read. He also wrote a personal ElixirConf on his blog.

Documented example of using Cowboy in Elixir
A heavily documented example of using Cowboy to serve static assets, dynamic requests, and websockets in Elixir (updated for Elixir 1.3).

Asynchronous Tasks with Elixir
Milton shows you how easy is to convert a sequential program written in Elixir into a concurrent one using the Task module.

Introducing Tesla — the flexible HTTP client for Elixir
I have not used this new library in production (obviously), but it sure looks interesting and is inspired by Ruby's Faraday gem.

Elixir Hunt - Find your next Elixir Job
Elixir Job Boards are almost becoming a meme at this point. Here comes a job board aggregator promising "I hunt for Elixir Jobs so you don't have to!"

distillery: Passing arguments to rpc functions

timex: Add ASP.NET token to the default formatter/parser
