I used Lua for scripting long time ago when I was implementing automated trading server in C++. It is beautiful and powerful language made for embedding. It is so good to have it available in Elixir deflua.com, github.com/tv-labs/lua! #elixirlang #lua

Lua.ex: Sandboxed Lua 5.3 on the BEAM, built for AI agents

Embed untrusted Lua in your Elixir app: AI agent tools, user formulas, per-tenant plugins. Pure BEAM, sandboxed by default, zero NIFs.

AshLua has been released! Easily and safely provide #AshFramework actions to a lua script to be called in your application 😎. Works via the very excellent lua library by @davelucia.com!

I've been annoyed with doc hovers in Neovim being just raw markdown. This is fine but could be better. Eg, docs in Elixir are often written for ex_doc/hexdocs.pm which supports some extensions like admonition blocks and tabs. This renders like crap though in Neovim So I fixed it.

The NYC Elixir Meetup, organized by @davelucia.com and Kate Rezentes, brought the community together for a great evening of talks and shared experiences. Dan Janowski joined to share how to get involved with the Foundation

Announcing JQL, an experimental DSL for writing Jira Query Language in #ElixirLang hexdocs.pm/jql/JQL.html

So I wrote an #ElixirLang Ecto-like DSL for writing JQL (yes, Jira, I know) Would anyone find this useful?

Looks like this might be useful to some folks, I'll release as an experimental version soon. It definitely needs work for it to be production grade (error messages suck, some of the syntax needs to be changed to avoid accidental errors, etc).

This is what I've been working on for the past ~6 months. It's been awesome. So much technical writing to do out of this 😁 Of course, all @elixir-lang.org. knock.app/changelog/20...

I am back to sponsoring @lpil.uk at $20 / month for his amazing work on @gleam.run If you didn't catch it, Gleam was ranked as the #2 most desired programming language from the Stack Overflow survey. Louis's vision, determination, and cultivation of an impressive core team is incredible.

Just set up a @tailscale.com App Connector on @fly.io to securely route to internal services without exposing them to the public internet. It was a bit tricky to get setup - thinking about writing up the process. Would anyone be interested in a blog post?

In #Phoenix #LiveView v1.1.0-rc.0 we shipped `:key` support for comprehensions in HEEx. The idea was to finally be able to have change tracking in comprehensions. We did this by leveraging LiveComponents. Sounds easy enough, right? There were some problems though. A thread. #MyElixirStatus
