| Keynote: Exoskeletons, not Autopilots | Zach Daniel | 55m |
Argues for building augmenting tooling not replacements and gives concrete blueprints: use Elixir + Ash Framework, prefer a monorepo, run agent sessions… | ||
| Update from the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation | Dan Janowski | 22m |
Erlang Ecosystem Foundation outlines concrete actions: a GitHub-backed community hub for curated content and PRs, a membership option at $100 a year plus… | ||
| Keynote: What Comes Next | Chris McCord | 54m |
Claims that most coding is now LLM-driven and that work shifts to supervising long-running agents which run 20-hour agent workloads and continuously build… | ||
| Pentesting Hex: Real Findings from the Ægis Initiative | Michael Lubas, Jonatan Männchen | 38m |
A paid pentest of Hex finds zero criticals but one high-impact bug: HX1 unsafe deserialization of Erlang terms that could be abused via web cache poisoning… | ||
| Hologram: Building Local-First Apps in Pure Elixir | Bart Blast | 42m |
Hologram compiles a full Elixir runtime into JavaScript so client UI code runs as pure Elixir in the browser, with a runtime ~100 kilobytes compressed and page… | ||
| LT: Zero to Auth in 60 Seconds | Dan Ward | 05m |
Claims zero to auth in 60 seconds by wiring a plug app to Amure and ascent, showing a live demo that completes GitHub OAuth in under a minute. Amure is… | ||
| LT: Proof Driven Development | Gideon Keith-Stanley | 05m |
An experiment uses Livebook notebooks as fixed, executable invariants and a CI checkpoint to guide agents to implement orbital mechanics; six notebooks cover… | ||
| LT: Verified Pub/Sub | Brian Meeker | 05m |
A proof-of-concept verified Pub/Sub for Elixir/Phoenix that encodes topics and message shapes in a manifest module and generates pub/sub helpers with Spark… | ||
| LT: Arbor: AI Agent Orchestration on the BEAM | Hysun Chung | 05m |
Arbor runs on the BEAM and orchestrates multiple agents and models, mixing clouds and local jailbroken models while enforcing unforgeable cryptographic tokens… | ||
| LT: What You Can Do with MDEx and Lumis | Leandro Pereira | 04m |
MDEx parses markdown fragments as a streaming parser from any IO string and completes nodes so pages render incrementally and efficiently, including… | ||
| LT: Quillex Hits 1.0 – the First Native Elixir Text Editor | Luke Taylor | 07m |
Quillex 1.0 claims to be the first native Elixir text editor and ships as a working notepad/gedit clone with syntax highlighting, tabs, find/replace, global… | ||
| LT: Elixir for Gaming! Using Network to Power a Sophisticated Multiplayer Simulation | Mik Ahmed | 06m |
A server‑authoritative multiplayer simulation built in Elixir over two years uses GenServer per AI processes coordinated by higher‑level supervisors so group… | ||
| LT: E-mail is broken! | Zach Supalla | 06m |
Argues that email is fundamentally broken: inboxes are noisy, now 95% machine-written, and act as a hated universal to‑do list that still holds necessary… | ||
| LT: Process Dictionary Debugger | Andrew Glassman | 06m |
A lightweight process dictionary debugger stores per-process debug entries so existing functions return unchanged values while a dashboard captures generated… | ||
| The Graveyard of Good Ideas | Quinn Wilton | 48m |
A mashup of abandoned ideas and modern tooling: a Turnstyle‑inspired language prototype called deft accumulates 70 commits but stalls for lack of tooling… | ||
