Announcing ex_webrtc: A WebRTC Implementation in Elixir

Łukasz Wala, in his Medium post, introduces ex_webrtc, a W3C WebRTC compliant implementation written in Elixir. He explains that ex_webrtc was developed due to the limitations encountered while using a combination of C and Erlang libraries in conjunction with the Membrane Framework for WebRTC applications. The Elixir-based implementation aims to be accessible to developers familiar with WebRTC from other ecosystems while leveraging Elixir's unique features. The inaugural release, version 0.1, focuses on API compliance, ease of integration into the Elixir ecosystem, and providing educational resources for WebRTC. Additionally, the article discusses the potential of Elixir for WebRTC applications through a detailed example and outlines the roadmap for future features, such as Quality of Service enhancements and support for ICE features like mDNS ICE candidates and TURN servers. Feedback and contributions to ex_webrtc are encouraged as it continues to evolve.
