My Elixir Journey

I decided to start learning Elixir in February 2018.

Follow my journey through this new blog.

A bit of background

Last year, I participate to a MOOC to learn OCAML. That was my first experience with functional language and I basically fall in love with this way of programming. As a web developper, OCAML is maybe not the best language … or if you love crazy build tools you can use ReasonML. But I need something fresh. After some research, I discover Elixir. A functionnal language that compile to native Erlang bytecode. Look like a nice ecosystem to discover.

defmodule GettingStartedElixirWeb.BookController do
  use GettingStartedElixirWeb, :controller

  alias GettingStartedElixir.{Book, DatastoreRepo}

  def index(conn, _params) do
    books = Book.find_all(10)

    conn
    |> assign(:books, books)
    |> assign(:next_page_token, nil)
    |> render("index.html")
end

But know I need a project to experiment with real life constraints …
