We're back for Backend Banter Season 2, and we bring a very special guest, José Valim, the creator of the Elixir Programming Language, one of the most popular and loved functional programming languages of today. (Fun fact: it's used in production at Discord).We cover the nitty-gritty of the language, ranging from simple topics such as the decision behind not making Elixir be statically typed, into the more complex cross-machine communication. We go over how Elixir's features compare with those of other languages, work habits of today's developers, José's own day-to-day development, and a lot more!Today's talk encompasses a great variety of themes, so grab your coffee and tune in!Learn back-end development - https://www.boot.devListen on your favorite podcast player: https://www.backendbanter.fmLivebook & Elixir Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pas9WdWIBHsElixir Programming Language: https://elixir-lang.org/Livebook: https://livebook.dev/Elixir In Action Book: https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action-third-editionJosé's Socials:X/Twitter: https://x.com/josevalimLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josevalimGitHub: https://github.com/josevalimTimestamps:
