Alembian Zach Daniel will be heading to the Carolina Codes Conference 2025 in Greenville, South Carolina to present his compelling talk - "Building on Sand: Elixir's Fundamental Design Advantage".
We are also proud to announce Alembic is a BRONZE sponsor of the conference.
Why This Talk Matters
In the ever-evolving landscape of programming languages, Elixir has consistently proven itself as a powerhouse of efficiency and reliability. Despite being considered a "niche" language without major corporate backing, Elixir enables development teams to:
- Deliver software with exceptional quality
- Ship features at accelerated speeds
- Significantly reduce both development and operational costs
- But what exactly makes Elixir so special? This is precisely what Zach will explore in his presentation.
With over 10 years of hands-on experience with Elixir, Zach brings a wealth of knowledge to this topic. As a framework author who regularly works with high-level abstractions and business logic, he's uniquely positioned to peel back the layers and reveal the foundational elements that make Elixir stand out.
What You'll Learn
Zach's talk will dive deep into the fundamental design choices that underpin the Elixir programming language. Discover how these seemingly small design decisions compound to create exponentially more efficient and understandable applications.
As Zach puts it in his abstract: "We will come to understand the fundamental reason that Elixir manages to be so productive and effective: We aren't building on sand."
This presentation will illustrate how core design principles are multiplied and magnified when systems are built upon them—a crucial understanding for any developer looking to create robust, scalable applications.
Whether you're an experienced Elixir developer or simply curious about what makes certain programming languages more effective than others, this talk promises valuable insights that you can apply to your own development practices.
We encourage you attend what's sure to be an enlightening presentation.
