Developing an Election Results Prototype Using Elixir

In this episode of the Elixir Wizards podcast, Simon Glenn-Gregg, a News Engineer at The Washington Post, discusses his experience using Elixir to build a real-time election results visualization platform. He shares insights into the selection and experimentation process that led him to choose Elixir and Phoenix, his steps for learning and integrating them into the existing tech stack, and the outcome of his project pitch. Despite the final product using Node, Simon highlights the benefits of Elixir for concurrency and memory management and expresses his hope to use it in future projects.
