Launching new CodeFlow course! Covers branching logic, looping, and error handling. See how pattern matching, immutability and functional programming impact the basic structures of how we write Elixir code. @elixirlang #elixirlang thinkingelixir.com/available…

Okay, Sagents is pretty neat.
BEAM-native, solid middleware system, persisted state, pluggable filesystem, and observability.
One small feature also caught my eye: the agent is aware of how many viewers it has and can stay alive until they leave.

The v0.1 release of Expert (the new, official #ElixirLang LSP) is final! 🎉
The best Elixir LSP experience keeps getting better.
Tremendous thanks to all the contributors, and to @JumpAdvisorAI for sponsoring Paweł on my team to work on it full-time. 🙏
