Bitcoin & Elixir: Living the Cutting Edge

Cutting edge markets often warrant using cutting edge technologies, even if it is just to fully match the spirit of pioneering. We’ll talk about building systems based on pre-released technologies, with one of these being (obviously) Elixir programming language. We’ll discuss the dos and don’ts and share some experiences and lessons and try to answer the question of when should one start using Elixir.

Target audience: The curious types that can’t live a day without toying with something new.
