Day 2 of @ElixirConf

Yesterday was great.

Will do a full write up in the next few days but I've watched some fantastic talks and met some truly remarkable people.

The future of Elixir and what can be built in it looks very promising.

Email [email protected] and we can arrange a time

[Arj Gillard @ArjGillard]

At ElixirConf - 22–24 April.

I’m hearing the same thing atm

"We’ve been trying to hire for months.”
“We’re seeing profiles but none we’d actually hire.”

The market looks busy, but it’s messy underneath.

If you’re there let's meet

A new client needed an Elixir Engineer urgently. We aligned on what the engineer had to deliver, experience required, what was realistic in the market & how fast we could move. They trusted me to take it on exclusively.

Client feedback "Thank you for sorting this so quickly for the team. The quality and speed of this process has far surpassed our expectations and past experiences with other agencies."

[Arj Gillard @ArjGillard]

@ThatArrowsmith Definitely not out of touch. Hetfield is the goat. Just get your colleague to watch stranger things 🤣

#Elixir just levelled up.

V1.19.2 brings stronger type checking and up to 4× faster compile times.

Faster feedback, fewer bugs, happier engineers.

It’s another sign Elixir is maturing.

If you’re scaling with Elixir, I can help you find engineers who get it.

Let’s chat.

[Arj Gillard @ArjGillard]

Elixir v1.18.2 is out.

It contains new enhancements and bug fixes.

Check it out on GitHub https://t.co/UH7xFS5BgR

May 2025 be the year of Elixir with more companies adopting such a fantastic language. 💧💧💧

We explore how several Elixir idioms will interact with Elixir's upcoming type system.

A huge thank you to @remote, @CNRS, @heyfresha, @starfish__team, and @dashbit for their continuous sponsoring of the type system work!

Updates in #Elixir

Apple has started using Elixir for their carbon-focused products.

Elixir came 2nd on Stack Overflow’s most loved languages and Phoenix was the most loved framework.
