Hex v2.5 adds three layers of supply chain defense: security advisories in your terminal on mix deps.get, a release-age cooldown that withholds new versions until they’ve aged, and organization policies for filtered dependency fetching. hex.pm/blog/hex-v25-r…

We’ve just released LiveStash v1.0.0 for Phoenix LiveView! 🎉 What’s new? ⚡ Mnesia adapter with cluster state replication and split-brain auto-heal 🔒 Explicit security configuration for browser memory storage 🛡️ Stability & performance improvements (more on that in 🧵)

Hey Elixir friends! :) A real event system comes to Hologram - v0.10 is out! You can now handle keyboard, scroll, resize, click-outside and scroll-edge events, bind handlers to the window and document, and debounce or throttle the noisy ones, all in your templates with compile-time checks. To show it off, I rebuilt Space Invaders in pure Elixir, running in the browser with no game engine. Plus a new server-side middleware layer, and comprehensions and try/rescue now run the same on the client as on the server. More here: hologram.page/blog/hologram-…

@hugobarauna @josevalim Love it! This is how I work too. It makes the most sense to me.

You don't need ten agents. You need two tracks.

@Straffern @germsvel @brainlid @bernheisel I'm glad you were able to start working in Elixir! That's great to hear. That's what it was all about for me. Getting people excited about Elixir and providing a community service. Best of luck to you going forward!

@germsvel @brainlid @bernheisel @ThinkingElixir Was a good run. I used to binge this podcast dreaming of getting a job working with Elixir. 2024 it happened, but I still kept listening.

A huge thank you to @brainlid and @bernheisel for having me in the @ThinkingElixir podcast several times and listing things I’ve done countless times. You’ve been a wonderful part of the community. Thanks for putting all the hard work. 🙏

The final episode! After 6 years, we close with news on LiveView 1.2 colocated CSS, Earmark’s retirement, Sagents v0.8.0, #Postgres 19, @SpaceX buying @cursor_ai for $60B, and what’s next for David and Mark! @ElixirLang #ElixirLang youtube.com/watch?v=p5FWCN…

If you write Elixir, you know the moment the fun stops. It's when you leave it for the frontend. For me the low point was an afternoon lost to a bug that turned out to be an object quietly mutating three files away - the kind of thing Elixir just doesn't let happen. And it's not just that one bug. No real pattern matching. Mutable state everywhere. An equals sign you can't fully trust. The pile of footguns we've all just learned to step around. I don't think that's fine. I think we got used to it. So Hologram lets you write the whole app in Elixir, frontend and all. Honestly, the real reason is simpler than all that: I just want to write Elixir all day. It's a stupid amount of work to get there. I regret nothing :)

@rr_cook Yes! But at some point I’ll transfer it to another podcasting home that doesn’t cost me to maintain the back catalogue.

@ThinkingElixir Will the old episodes, and importantly the links in episode descriptions, still be up for a while?

It’s true! After 6 years of weekly episodes, the Thinking Elixir Podcast will be ending on June 23rd. Three episodes left. It’s been an incredible run and I’m grateful for every listener who came along for the journey. #podcast #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang

@germsvel Thanks for contributing to the community and creating things worth talking about! 😀

@ThinkingElixir 🫶 thank you for so many good episodes, for countless shoutouts, and for having me as a guest. 6 years is a long run!!!

Security is front and center with atom exhaustion CVEs and an urgent hackney #security upgrade. Elixir 1.20's type system catching real bugs, a new BEAM-native coding agent called "vibe", and more! #ElixirLang @ElixirLang youtube.com/watch?v=S5Ebk6…

Claude/Codex + Elixir + Phoenix + LiveView is such an insane superpower. The entire stack, from low-level distributed systems modeling all the way up to the UI, is all built in one language & runtime that's easy to reason through.

35% of the CVEs published by our CNA fall under uncontrolled resource consumption. That's a high number for something that is largely preventable.

News includes Elixir 1.20.0-rc.6 (last RC?), @TheErlef 2026 election results, LiveStash v0.3.0 for Phoenix LiveView state recovery, a call to fund EEF #security work, and @GitHub got hacked via a VS Code extension, and more! #ElixirLang @ElixirLang youtube.com/watch?v=UWFn3o…

News includes Elixir’s set-theoretic type inference completing all language constructs, #OTP 29.0 released, a wave of CVEs hitting the Phoenix stack, big SWAR string performance gains, and a #LiveView hot-reload tip, and more! #ElixirLang @ElixirLang youtube.com/watch?v=32QmEl…

EEF 2026 election candidates are out, Elixir-Vibe launches tools to fight #AI code #slop, erlang_python 3.0.0 embeds CPython into the BEAM, @ElixirConfEU 2026 videos are dropping, and more! @ElixirLang #ElixirLang #python youtube.com/watch?v=t-VuB9…
