Hacker Read

I'm using this tool to teach the basics of Elixir on my livestream. I think there's a lot of good usecases for Livebook, not only machine learning and stuff like that.

I think this is eventually going to be how people use elixir's livebook library.

Elixir, but there’s LiveBook already.

Yeah! Big thanks to Mark and the Fly team for pushing Elixir hard on their platform.

This is a fantastic article and as you said, a novel use case of Livebook I hadn't thought of before.

I ended up building a library for elixir a few years back for this kind of thing: https://github.com/meadsteve/unit_fun.

Boot up a Livebook and step through some of the basics on the Elixir homepage. Someone else recommended Elixir in Action, which is a very good book once you have some grasp on the fundamentals.

There appears to be a good getting started tutorial available at https://liveviewnative.github.io/liveview-client-swiftui/tut...

Between this new project, "regular" LiveView, Nx, Livebook, and FireFly, the Elixir ecosystem is expanding at an impressive rate.

You might want to try kiex? It is similar to Ruby's rvm or Node's nvm for Elixir.

I didn’t try, to be honest i think the implementation of this might be beyond my elixir capabilities. But I’ll check it out - thanks for the link!

I'm a big fan of `mix` for Elixir. https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.html

Cool. Is it possible to run this inside another elixir app?

While I'm at at, this Elixir library is great as well: https://github.com/brainlid/langchain

I adore livebook and very much agree, elixir and gleam are both amazing, which makes choosing one for a specific task even harder. I keep a livebook running 24/7 on my home server, so I can always try out snippets anywhere. Gleam's typing is great, but not necessarily a reason for me to use it over elixir, especially with the new elixir system shaping up.

There's tons of pros to each. I guess I will continue to have fun with both!
