The Thinking Elixir podcast is a weekly show where we talk about the Elixir programming language and the community around it. We cover news and interview guests to learn more about projects and developments in the community.
153: Elixir Tools and Language Servers
Language servers are an important part of modern developer tooling. Mitch Hanberg has made this his new focus with gen_lsp, a generic language server behaviour that he then implemented a Credo language server on top of. Yes, that's right, Credo! We learn what that means and what his new elixir-tools Github organization is intended to do. Listen to Mich share his vision for what Elixir dev tools could be like! We get an update on his Temple project, an alternative to Phoenix templates, we learn about an existing Elixir formatter plugin that may reformat code more to your liking and more!
