Welcome to the new edition of our biweekly series. Elixir development has been progressing at a steady pace and there are quite a few new things we're going to have a look at today.
Last time we learned how to write macros that provide a useful abstraction for building a web server on top of the language. The server we built was able to serve static files and handle user's GET and POST requests. This week we're going to further extend our web framework, fix a couple of rough edges, and experiment with networking.
It's been two weeks since the last edition of the series, so this one is going to be packed with information.
Today, a parallel compiler just landed in Elixir master. The goal of the parallel compiler is to compile files in parallel, automatically detecting dependencies between files. In this blog post, we are going to take a peek into the parallel compiler internals and learn more about Erlang and Elixir in the process.
Since we haven't seen much new stuff in the Elixir land this week, I've decided to do something a little different. We'll build our own web framework to get a feel of the Elixir power. In this first part we'll take a closer look at macros and we'll see how they can be useful when it comes to building a friendly syntax for our users.
This week has not seen as many prominent new features as the previous one. Still, more bugs have been fixed and a number of small improvements has been made here and there, so the overall progress is quite noticeable.
Last week Elixir has seen a lot of new features, improvements, and bug fixes. In this little post I'm going to highlight some of the most prominent ones.
