Live and Uncut from the AlamoDrafthouse: The Wizards and Elixir Outlaws
summary
A live podcast records a roundtable about Elixir community, tooling and experiments: claim that Elixir is viable for high‑performance work backed by Jason Stewart’s renderer on GitHub and concrete rendering algorithm tradeoffs; demand for a pandas in Elixir‑style tabular library and Jason Goldberg’s Annex linear‑algebra work; announcement that Zaki’s Polomate shows 4x faster string replace in 0.0.6 and plans GPU support (polomate 0.0.6 supports GPU soon). Stories emphasize live coding, mentoring and community tributes.
