This month, we are back with a sneak preview of two talks which will run on the Alchemyconf.com and the Elixirconf.eu:

Wasmex: Run WebAssembly Programs in Elixir
(Elixirconf.eu preview by Tessi)

WebAssembly is a compilation target and execution environment often used in Browsers to speed up intensive algorithms that would be slow in pure JavaScript. But Elixir can run WebAssembly too and it’s about much more just speedy code execution.

In this session, we will talk about wasmex, a WebAssembly runtime written in Elixir. We investigate common use cases of WebAssembly and how they benefit Elixir hosts. If you are interested in running unsafe (user-provided) programs in your Elixir application, or you want to interface with programs written in other programming language, or even in speeding up your algorithms, this talk is for you.

Interactive Documentation: Creating a Secure, Elixir-Powered RAG System
(Alchemyconf.com preview by Chris)

This talk explores how modern AI tools can bridge the gap between developers and adopters, transforming documentation into an interactive, continuously improving resource.

Focusing on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in Elixir, it highlights how RAG can enhance both the creation and interaction with documentation, making it more engaging and effective. Attendees will learn about core RAG principles, handling fuzzy code searches, and mitigating security risks, offering a roadmap for small teams to create impactful documentation that supports growth and adoption.
