Mateusz Front is talking about compiling elixir/erlang to Wasm at #ElixirConfEU Imagine the inception moment when we run that Wasm in elixir again using wasmex!

This Friday I will talk about Wasmex at #ElixirConf EU - if you want to know what WebAssembly can bring to the table for your #ElixirLang apps, join me! Here is a sneak peek into my slides: Speed is one of the things Wasm can give you :)

A slide of my ElixirConfEU presentation - it shows a benchmark comparing an Elixir vs. Wasm implementation of SHA-256 calculations. Wasm is more than 2x faster. See more at github.com/tessi/wasmex-sha256-benchmark

Wasmex v0.11.0 was just released #ElixirLang It features better Wasm component integration (with way more types being translated from Elixir to Wasm and back), and enables you to precompile Wasm modules for way more efficient horizontal scaling. hex.pm/packages/was...

I am benchmarking a CPU intensive workload in native Elixir vs. different ways to run them with WebAssembly. I can now rightfully claim that wasmex can speed up your programs :) #ElixirLang

Shows a bar diagram of a benchmark run. The "Elixir Native" job is roughly half as performant as WebAssembly through wasmex

My train from ElixirConfEU back to Berlin was just cancelled. My trip to the conf also changed times already. I wish we could rely on trains. But as things are any appointments on travel days is doomed and you don’t even know if you arrive at your destination.

@pragtob.bsky.social i'm benchmarking things with benchee! and it's fun 💚 github.com/tessi/wasmex... Now, I was having shower thoughts on benchmarking on different dimensions, is this something that's possible out of the box? if not how would I do it?

Orb lets you write WebAssembly using an Elixir DSL. Here we render dynamic CSS depending on a theme variable in a struct. GoldenOrb.Plug.send_css/2 executes the WebAssembly & automatically passes in the theme then assigns the resulting CSS to a Plug HTTP Conn. #myelixirstatus

An Elixir module that uses Orb to define an Elixir struct with the theme, a WebAssembly global for the theme, exports functions to read the possible theme values, and a function that dynamically returns different CSS depending on the theme.

Here we use GoldenOrb.Plug to execute the WebAssembly from our Orb module and sets the resulting CSS on a Plug.Conn, which means our WebAssembly has been executed and transformed into a HTTP response.

I know a handful of experienced #ElixirLang devs who have been hit by layoffs recently. If you'd like an intro, or you have any tips on remote roles they should apply for, let me know.

The speed improvements in ex_doc 0.37.0-rc.2 for large codebases (and lots of docs) are insane! Our build time for docs went from ~40 minutes(!) (after a regression with an OTP upgrade) down to 1 minute 22 seconds. It's just crazy. Thanks @josevalim.bsky.social 💜

I've done an unusual number of mentoring calls this week, and one thing I'd like to remind everyone is, you are enough, and you can't forget how far you've come. You're most likely in the best position you've ever been in to build on top of everything you've done until this point.

We had to let go of some really excellent Elixir developers this week, which I am quite sad about. Among them is @katelynnburns.bsky.social . She joined us as an apprentice and two years later was keynoting ElixirConf :head_asplode:. Let our loss be your gain and hire her!

I tried calculating the largest known prime in #ElixirLang and the code is super simple, try it in your iex: 2**136_279_841-1 Sadly, I get a `(SystemLimitError) a system limit has been reached` error. Is that because of my system or a general limitation?

This weekend's free time coding gets us the ability to launch webassembly components as Genservers. If you've ever wished you leverage OTP in other languages, this is a considerable step towards making that possible. PR here: github.com/tessi/wasmex...

Hello #ElixirLang folks. What are your thoughts on macros vs. code generation? We are debating support of Wasm components in wasmex. They should be easy to call from Elixir and we can introspect components for their functions (including types). Are macros the way to go? github.com/tessi/wasmex...

Super excited that we now have the beginnings of webassembly component support in github.com/tessi/wasmex. It's in main (not released), and not yet well documented. See the tests in test/components for examples, docs and blog post tutorial to come.

Dear #ElixirLang people, please help! I'm debating with myself whether to submit a talk to the upcoming #ElixirConfEU. Probably something about WebAssembly/WASM and Elixir. Is there something you would love to know and learn in this area? Is it interesting at all? Any feedback/ideas appreciated! 💜
