[Elixir Sydney is currently teamed up with Elixir Melbourne to form Elixir Australia, your one stop-online meetup for all things Elixir in the land down under!]

---

Welcome to Elixir Australia for November 2020, our penultimate meetup for the year! We're not slowing down yet, though! We have two fantastic thought-provoking talks from community members that you are not going to want to miss!

  1. Haskell As Elixir [MOVED TO DECEMBER 2020]
  • Julian Doherty

Haskell has a rich type system with elegant and sophisticated ways of defining and working with data structures. Elixir has awesome things we all know and love, but less of that. How can we abuse macros and Elixir type specs to build a DSL that sort of gives us some of the same conciseness and elegance?

  1. gRPC in Elixir
  • Robert Ellen

gRPC is "A high-performance, open source universal RPC framework" and is an option for inter-service communication along with REST and GraphQL and is also a contender for the "last mile" communications to devices and browsers. This talk will cover what gRPC is, and demo the most popular gRPC library for Elixir (https://github.com/elixir-grpc/grpc), showing how Elixir can communicate with services written in other languages we're likely to need to interoperate with in the current software landscape.

Hope to see you on the Zooms!
