• Making Elixir and Erlang couple, rather than “just friends”.
• Integrating BEAM with systemd (partially in hope that people find it better alternative to k8s/Docker deployments)
• Improving “drop-in” Lager replacement that will use Erlang’s logger directly (this will provide integration with 1.10 Elixir’s Logger as well)
• Mix tasks for working with Erlang projects, currently supported are mix ct for Common Test, mix eunit for EUnit tests, and mix exref for Erlang’s xref module
• Bringing logger and telemetry closer to each other as these tools cover similar raison d’être (event bus)
• Ernie format which is meant to be “standardised” ETF without unsafe features (functions, atoms, etc.), currently there is encoder and decoder for Rust and I am working on JS/TS and Go (contributions more than welcome, as I am not expert in either of these languages)

Most of my elixir-time goes into this list here: https://github.com/h4cc/awesome-elixir
Next to that i once ported a small library for learning: https://github.com/h4cc/slugger
Also trying to get this meetup going well http://www.meetup.com/de-DE/Elixir-Hamburg/

Working on a brown bag presentation on Elixir and Erlang to give here at Microsoft.

I’ve been working in the addition of functions to the Elixir standard lib that should ease the manipulation of source: Code.string_to_quoted_with_comments/2 and Code.quoted_to_algebra/2. The latter uses the Elixir formatter, so now you could generate formatted source code from any arbitrary ast, and lets you pass a list of comments, so they will be preserved .

If you want to try them out, they’re already available in Elixir’s master branch.

I hope this will be used by tools like Credo to provide auto-fix functionality, by tools like elixir-ls to provide refactoring tools, and it may even allow for the addition of a mix deps.add task to add dependencies ala npm install without the need to manually edit the mix.exs file .

Next month will be my first Elixir professional work !!
