Discussion on Ash Framework and its Benefits

This podcast episode features Zach Daniel, the creator of the Ash Framework. Zach explains his view on the usefulness of Ecto and why the community hasn't built a modeling layer above it. Ash Framework aims to model resources higher than Ecto, offering more expressiveness and support for LiveView, REST, and GraphQL interfaces while reducing boilerplate. The episode also highlights the recent release of Ash Framework 2.0 and the launch of the Ash HQ website. The discussion includes insights into the framework's philosophy and its escape hatches to avoid being boxed in by design decisions. Additionally, the episode covers various Elixir community news such as ExDoc v0.29, Phoenix LiveView Storybook, and recent projects from the Elixir community.
