Mateusz Front is talking about compiling elixir/erlang to Wasm at #ElixirConfEU Imagine the inception moment when we run that Wasm in elixir again using wasmex!

This Friday I will talk about Wasmex at #ElixirConf EU - if you want to know what WebAssembly can bring to the table for your #ElixirLang apps, join me! Here is a sneak peek into my slides: Speed is one of the things Wasm can give you :)

Wasmex v0.11.0 was just released #ElixirLang It features better Wasm component integration (with way more types being translated from Elixir to Wasm and back), and enables you to precompile Wasm modules for way more efficient horizontal scaling. hex.pm/packages/was...

I am benchmarking a CPU intensive workload in native Elixir vs. different ways to run them with WebAssembly. I can now rightfully claim that wasmex can speed up your programs :) #ElixirLang

My train from ElixirConfEU back to Berlin was just cancelled. My trip to the conf also changed times already. I wish we could rely on trains. But as things are any appointments on travel days is doomed and you don’t even know if you arrive at your destination.

Some hero wrote a blog post on how to create ultra-bright HDR emojis (to burn dark mode slack users eyes on emoji reactions). And I'm sure I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A MISCHIEVOUS THING to my beloved corporate company slack! sharpletters.net/2025/04/16/h...

@pragtob.bsky.social i'm benchmarking things with benchee! and it's fun 💚 github.com/tessi/wasmex... Now, I was having shower thoughts on benchmarking on different dimensions, is this something that's possible out of the box? if not how would I do it?

Orb lets you write WebAssembly using an Elixir DSL. Here we render dynamic CSS depending on a theme variable in a struct. GoldenOrb.Plug.send_css/2 executes the WebAssembly & automatically passes in the theme then assigns the resulting CSS to a Plug HTTP Conn. #myelixirstatus

Wasmex 0.10.0 is out and features support for Wasm Components! github.com/tessi/wasmex... Thanks a ton @superchris.launchscout.com for his gigantic contribution and ongoing support and improvement for the last months while we let that feature cook in pre-release mode. Thank you Chris! #ElixirLang

Try it out! github.com/tessi/wasmex...

If you are in or near Berlin today and want to learn about WebAssembly+Elixir, come and join us at the Elixir Berlin Meetup 💜

🚀 Elixir Berlin – February Edition! 🚀 Join us for an exciting evening of AI, WebAssembly, and Elixir! This month, we have two fantastic talks by @tessi.bsky.social & Chris Don't miss out—come learn, connect, and geek out with fellow Elixir enthusiasts! 📅 Hope to see you there! 💜 #ElixirLang 🔗👇

I know a handful of experienced #ElixirLang devs who have been hit by layoffs recently. If you'd like an intro, or you have any tips on remote roles they should apply for, let me know.

#kawai :D

The speed improvements in ex_doc 0.37.0-rc.2 for large codebases (and lots of docs) are insane! Our build time for docs went from ~40 minutes(!) (after a regression with an OTP upgrade) down to 1 minute 22 seconds. It's just crazy. Thanks @josevalim.bsky.social 💜

@sorentwo.bsky.social good to see you here :) welcome 💜

I am migrating our business accounts over here. If you are an #ElixirLang enthusiast - please follow @groxio.bsky.social and @gigcityelixir.bsky.social Thank you so much!

@filipecabaco.com alles Gute zum Geburtstag mein Lieber! (Happy Birthday my friend) 🎈

I've done an unusual number of mentoring calls this week, and one thing I'd like to remind everyone is, you are enough, and you can't forget how far you've come. You're most likely in the best position you've ever been in to build on top of everything you've done until this point.

Looking for my next job! - Based in Berlin 🇩🇪, but also open to remote. - I've been most excited about #ElixirLang lately, but also open to other tech stacks(I've worked with Clojure, Rust, JS/TS) Some stuff I've worked on recently below👇. (And I'd appreciate a repost :))

I didn't deserve it, but today 30+ ex-colleagues DMed me to tell me variations of "you're awesome" and "I admire you" 😍 We should all be creating more micro moments of positivity - heeds.xyz/micro-moments 🫶

We had to let go of some really excellent Elixir developers this week, which I am quite sad about. Among them is @katelynnburns.bsky.social . She joined us as an apprentice and two years later was keynoting ElixirConf :head_asplode:. Let our loss be your gain and hire her!

I just submitted my talk proposal to @elixirconfeu.bsky.social this year. Wish me luck getting accepted #ElixirLang friends 🌻 This is the talk Beyond the Browser: WebAssembly as a tool for the Elixir Developer

I tried calculating the largest known prime in #ElixirLang and the code is super simple, try it in your iex: 2**136_279_841-1 Sadly, I get a `(SystemLimitError) a system limit has been reached` error. Is that because of my system or a general limitation?

This weekend's free time coding gets us the ability to launch webassembly components as Genservers. If you've ever wished you leverage OTP in other languages, this is a considerable step towards making that possible. PR here: github.com/tessi/wasmex...

Hello #ElixirLang folks. What are your thoughts on macros vs. code generation? We are debating support of Wasm components in wasmex. They should be easy to call from Elixir and we can introspect components for their functions (including types). Are macros the way to go? github.com/tessi/wasmex...

Thanks to my broken #ElixirLang tests my money spending skills are not the only thing having failures! ``` .....F.... Finished in 0.6 seconds (0.6s async, 0.00 sync) 10 tests, 1 failure ```

Happy to see awesome contributions like this one from @superchrisnelson.bsky.social landing in wasmex :) It wasn't an easy change, took multiple approaches and time to get right. Quite amazing for a first contribution to a project. I love our #ElixirLang community 💜

Super excited that we now have the beginnings of webassembly component support in github.com/tessi/wasmex. It's in main (not released), and not yet well documented. See the tests in test/components for examples, docs and blog post tutorial to come.

Dear #ElixirLang people, please help! I'm debating with myself whether to submit a talk to the upcoming #ElixirConfEU. Probably something about WebAssembly/WASM and Elixir. Is there something you would love to know and learn in this area? Is it interesting at all? Any feedback/ideas appreciated! 💜

To all new Elixir-it’s: Welcome to BlueSky! I created this starter pack to get you started: go.bsky.app/EuRHN7o

This is a great explanation of the tradeoffs between focusing on software quality versus velocity. surfingcomplexity.blog/2024/10/29/t...

few understand how incredible @josevalim.bsky.social is in general but he is watching a tech streamer learn #Elixir and updating the docs in real time.

Happy #Elixir on bsky day! Its great to see people transition to anything but xitter 💜
