CODE SYNC

[JoshuaMuzaaya]

i find erlang syntax so common sense to understand and work with.

[Calg]

Erlang syntax is amazing tbh - I'm primary a python developer but the Erlang syntax is very nice. Elixir on the other hand..

[AlexandreZandaoDrummond]

Todd forgot two of the best parts: elixir macros and tooling

[bercoviciadrian]

Is there any possibility one could provide a simple example on how to make an application OTP distributed ? Having an application running on multiple nodes, i have yet to see a full example on how to write the config files with runtime configuration ( $"Paramaeter") ? I have been banging my head with rebar3 and runtime configuration for months now to no avail.

The huge pops in the audio murder my speakers. Good video, but painful.
