Hey! Thanks for your video! Please correct me if I'm wrong: Elixir is not just a language but a new programming paradigm focused on managing these processes using a server-client architecture to monitor and send messages on async executions, correct?
Yes, Elixir is a language written in Erlang. This language was written for telephony and runs on the Beam virtual machine. A lot of things in Elixir can be processes and messages, but a lot of what I’ve seen in production is mostly just modules and functions.
Great video! Had a quick question though, I was wondering why Process.send_after doesn't work in Tasks/GenServers when they are put into Supervisors. I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere.
@@DouglasWright pastebin.com/kda1EvZY rough code, but basically what happens is loop will be called once because of the start_link, but it will not call itself again since it doesn't seem to get the message that it sends to itself.
INSANELY clear and helpful! Thank you
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful!
Please cover Mint Http Client and Auth with Keycloak if possible!
haha, that sounds very involved!
@@ElixirDrops oh yeah...just cover whatever you find interesting in elixir world e.g. LiveView. We are big fans of your youtube channel :)
arpit shah thank you. Will do. Live View could be interesting!

Can you share a link to example code?
