Understanding Elixir's Tools for Bit Manipulation

The presentation explores how Elixir programs are compiled into binary data, delving into techniques for bit manipulation. Attendees will learn about the syntax for pattern matching bitstrings, performing bitwise operations using the Bitwise module, and leveraging the :binary module for optimization in performance-critical tasks. Real-world examples, including decoding audio formats like MP3s and analyzing telemetry from racing simulators, illustrate the application of these concepts in practical scenarios. This intermediate-level session aims to enhance understanding of Elixir's capabilities in handling low-level computing challenges while maintaining the language's expressiveness and reliability.
