It’s awesome to see The BBC using Elixir! I was wondering how long it would take them, given they have used Ruby in the past ![]()
Could you do a write-up of some sort and post it in our #community:showcase-adoption section James? I’m sure lots of people would be interested in hearing how The BBC are using Elixir ![]()
