This video was recorded at Code BEAM SF 19 http://bit.ly/2T3Do0U Get involved in Code Sync's next conference http://bit.ly/2Mcm4aS --- THE EVOLUTION OF A LANGUAGE by Andrea Leopardi THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: Programming language Community History TALK LEVEL: Beginner ABSTRACT Elixir is young, but it's not as young as it used to be. The language has been stable for a long time now, but that doesn't mean it hasn't evolved. In this talk, I want to tell the story of how Elixir grew up to be what it is today. We'll talk about how the language changed to work better for the community, and how the community changed to write better Elixir. We'll try to guess at where this is all going next. Read the full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/andrea-leopardi/ --- THE SPEAKER - ANDREA LEOPARDI Elixir core team member, developer advocate, software architect Andrea is a human born in the ancient lands of central Italy. He loves functional programming, beautiful code, and learning stuff. He's a software architect, speaker, and member of the core team of the Elixir programming language. His weak spot is having red hair. More on Andrea Leopardi: https://codesync.global/speaker/andrea-leopardi/ --- CODE SYNC & CODE BEAM SF 19 Code BEAM SF is powered by Code Sync.
