Discussion on the Burrito project using Elixir with Quinn and Digit

In this episode, hosts Mark Ericksen, David Bernheisel, and Cade Ward engage in a conversation with Quinn and Digit about the Burrito project. Burrito wraps Elixir into a single binary, facilitating cross-platform builds and utilizing Zig to enable NIFs. This approach allows for execution in isolated environments where Elixir isn't typically installable. The discussion progresses through the various uses of Burrito, which range from one-off scripts to long-running CLI applications with full OTP features. Challenges faced during the project development and the benefits of it being open-source are also covered. Additionally, the podcast features Elixir Community News, such as the Elixir 1.13.1 release, announcements from BeaconCMS, and updates from the Nerves Project.
