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.
170: Thinking Elixir News
News this week includes the release of ElixirConf 2023 video playlist featuring keynote videos, a guide on Web Application Security Best Practices for BEAM languages from the EEF Security Working Group, the release of NextLS v0.12 with exciting new features, and a new library to integrate the JavaScript all-in-one toolkit, Bun with Phoenix. A new LangChain library makes it easy to integrate Elixir applications with an LLM like ChatGPT. Regarding the open source community, we discuss the major update in the Lodash JS project, the latest PostgreSQL 16 release, and a noteworthy article from ZigLang on bounties potentially damaging open source projects, and more!

167: Customizing mix phx.new?
We've all run "mix phx.new", but have you ever thought to customize what that does? We talk with Victor Björklund who explains how we can create customized Phoenix project generators and why we might want to. We also discuss customizing the phoenix generators for our already generated projects. We explore the idea of supporting 3rd-party maintained generators and what that might look like. A fun discussion sure to “generate” ideas for your project!

166: Filtering, ordering and pagination via Flop
Most of us have created our own filtering, sorting and pagination code before in one project after the other. Mathias Polligkeit got tired of doing that too and created the flop library to wrap it all into a portable and reusable solution. We talk with Mathias to learn what it can do and are pleased to learn it's surpassed our own solutions. He also created a flop_phoenix package with heex components to help build filter forms and tables. A fun look into an interesting library!

165: Thinking Elixir News
In the news, we cover a new Livebook Desktop feature tease, a new daily bite-sized Elixir newsletter, Supabase's new Supavisor architecture, and Livebook joins the online Spawnfest competition as a sponsor. We also share a PSA about Alpine Docker image troubles with OTP 26 and an Ecto schema introspection tip. Elixir's errors get more helpful when modules aren't found, then a new Hex search tool was created and explained, and much more!

163: Job Queues using Oban with Parker Selbert
If you need background jobs or scheduled tasks in your Elixir project, you've probably already heard of Oban. We talk with Parker Selbert, the creator and maintainer of Oban, to learn more about the project and the additional paid features in Oban Web and Oban Pro. Parker explains the origins, why it's architected the way it is, and how the paid extensions work. We also get some insights into companies using Oban and the kind of scale people reach.

162: Elixir to WebAssembly with Orb
WebAssembly is an interesting technology that feels completely separate from Elixir. Patrick Smith created an Elixir project called Orb, an Elixir DSL for WebAssembly. He also shows how a WebAssembly component can play a meaningful role in a LiveView page! We talk more about what WebAssembly is, the promise for the technology, how it can improve UX, and where Patrick sees real practical applications for Elixir developers.

161: Lexical LS and Elixir Dev UX
Language Servers underpin the language specific support we rely on in modern code editors. Lately, there have been new efforts in this area in the Elixir community. We talk with Steve Cohen about his project Lexical LS to learn about his new Elixir Language Server, how long he's been at it, and what it can do today. We learn about some of the technical challenges when creating a tool like this, and why there's still room for new projects in this area. Steve explains how Lexical LS is architected and that it is a goal to be easy to contribute to and work on the Lexical project itself. Time to give it a try!

160: LiveView Async Pattern and Admin Tools
After experience with a LiveView “anti-pattern”, Andy Glassman developed an “Async Pattern” for loading data into a LiveView. Andy shares the problem this helps solve and we discuss when it's a good fit. We also talk with Andy about the current state of “admin tools” in Elixir and he shares his feelings on the importance of building admin tools from the start in our projects.

159: Langchain with Elixir and Safe Ecto Migrations
Mark and David share what's caught their interests and focus. Langchain is a popular framework in JS and Python communities for building services that knit together different services enabling people to quickly build impressive demos. Mark talks about the parts of Langchain that interest him and how he's been building ways for Elixir apps to play in that space too. We also catch up with David’s job change, moving, and talk about his ideas around using Oban for managing data migrations in a new way.

158: From Ruby to Elixir with Steve Bussey
A challenge for many people learning Elixir is the change in the mental model. Coming from OOP to Functional changes how we reason about our applications and the old way doesn't always map over cleanly. Also, Elixir is capable of doing a lot more than other languages and frameworks can and this means learning how to build a “normal” application may change. We talk with Steve Bussey about his new book “From Ruby to Elixir” that aims to help people bridge that gap. While the title says “Ruby”, we discuss how many of the concepts apply to people coming from most OOP languages. We talk about different libraries to recommend to people coming from a traditional Rails stack and more!

157: Adding Dialyzer Late in the Game
Dialyzer is something that eventually everyone hears about in the Elixir community. It's a static code analysis tool that has both fans and detractors, and with good reasons on both sides! We talk with Noah Betzen about how he brought Dialyzer to several mature Elixir projects. He wanted the benefits of finding and fixing bugs and to prevent new problems from being added. He shared tools, strategies and other resources for how to get started without stopping everything to fix all the existing problems. If you've ever tried to add Dialyzer to a project and aborted, then this discussion may give you the courage and the tools to try again!

156: React to LiveView for Performance
When their React app stuttered and slowed with the hundreds of items they needed to display, Tim Gremore tried it out as a LiveView rendered page and found they could scale to thousands without issue. The LiveView version was so responsive the users thought it must not be working because there was no delay to register the changes! Tim shares their journey migrating a service from React to LiveView to solve their issue. He shares tips, what they learned in the process and more!
