Exploring Elixir's Interaction with WebAssembly through Orb
The 'Thinking Elixir Podcast' Episode 162 explored an interesting intersection between Elixir and WebAssembly. The guest, Patrick Smith, discussed Orb, an Elixir DSL (Domain Specific Language) that he created for working with WebAssembly. They delved into the concept of WebAssembly, its potential to enhance user experience (UX), and its practical applications for Elixir developers. One of the highlights was the demonstration of how WebAssembly can be integrated into a LiveView application to play a significant role. Throughout the discussion, various aspects of WebAssembly were covered including its performance benefits, like loading times improvement as seen in Figma's case study. The episode also tackled current Elixir community news, touching upon recent updates, tooling, and notable projects.
