Elixir Talk

What editors do we use when writing Elixir? What's our testing workflow? We also discuss why and when we use imports and aliases in our modules, and the pros and cons of typing our function calls. And Desmond has a new job! ** show notes ** https://www.versussystems.com/ https://twitter.com/_asummers/status/1011716230598807552 https://github.com/JakeBecker/elixir-ls http://www.alchemist-elixir.org/ https://github.com/JakeBecker/vscode-elixir-ls https://github.com/elixir-editors/vim-elixir
