@dimamikielewicz Thanks for the feedback Dima! That's awesome that you built a BM25 search feature! And thanks for listening. ☺️

Episode 300 of the @ThinkingElixir podcast is out!! I've been listening for almost 4 years now, and it's always so incredibly insightful. They even inspired me to build things I never would have attempted otherwise - like my Torus BM25 search addition. Huge congrats to the team. If you haven't already - go listen to it now: open.spotify.com/episode/1SzyLK…

The @TheErlef needs your support for a major security grant, Hex-pm completes its first security audit, @JoseValim drops a massive Tidewave update, and we discuss the ClickFix supply chain attack that hit Axios, and more! #ElixirLang @ElixirLang youtube.com/watch?v=S_ghKz…

Woot! hex.pm will now serve llms.txt for Elixir/Erlang packages if the accept header is text/markdown. If you have a package and you use ExDoc, update to the latest version (which generates .md files by default) and republish your docs.

We just launched a massive update for Tidewave, so expect videos and screenshots over the next days. To get us started: UI variants! Ask your coding agent to build different versions of a page or a UI component and Tidewave helps you pick and improve your favorite!

News includes a redesigned hex.pm website, #Hex 2.4 adding #OAuth and #2FA, the official Elixir Expert LSP hitting v0.1, a new LiveStash library for LiveView state recovery, and more! #ElixirLang @ElixirLang youtube.com/watch?v=jn4tmD…

Warning to open source maintainers: the Axios supply chain attack started with some very sophisticated social engineering targeted at one of their developers simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/3/sup…

News includes Quickbeam bringing a full #JS runtime into the #BEAM, Elixir's type system inspiring #Python's Ruff, LiveView Debugger v0.7, Oban v2.21, and more! #ElixirLang @ElixirLang youtube.com/watch?v=FfB08R…

Sagents v0.3.x is out! Lots to share! AI agents doing things on your behalf is great... until they do the wrong thing. Sagents lets you define exactly which operations need human approval. github.com/sagents-ai/sag… #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang #LLM #AI #agents 🧵👇

Elixir v1.20.0-rc.2 series is out! Overall, the compiler finds more bugs, for free, and it has never been faster: * Infers types across clauses, finding more bugs and dead code * Compiles ~10% faster and has a new interpreted mode (up to 5x faster, scales to the number of cores) * Modifying a struct definition recompiles fewer files (better incremental compilation) Please give it a try and share your feedback! Expect at least two additional RCs before v1.20.0!
