How to Sell Elixir (2023)

How to Sell Elixir AGAIN (2023)

Presented by Evadne Wu at Code BEAM Lite in Stockholm, Sweden on 12 May 2023

Synopsis

We have celebrated 10 years of Elixir and also nearly 25 years of Erlang since the open source release in December 1998.

Most of the libraries that were needed to make the ecosystem viable have been built, talks given, books written, conferences held and training sessions provided. A new generation of companies have been built on top of the Elixir / Erlang ecosystem. In all measures, we have achieved further reach and maturity than 5 years ago.

How to set up Python in 2022

I have an updated version of this on my blog here: https://chrisamico.com/blog/2023-01-14/python-setup/.

Python

This is my recommended Python setup, as of Fall 2022. The Python landscape can be a confusing mess of overlapping tools that sometimes don't work well together. This is an effort to standardize our approach and environments.

Tools and helpful links:

  • Python docs: https://docs.python.org/3/
  • Python Standard Library:  - Start here when you're trying to solve a specific problem

Introduction

It happens that there are many standards for storing cryptography materials (key, certificate, ...) and it isn't always obvious to know which standard is used by just looking at file name extension or file content. There are bunch of questions on stackoverflow asking about how to convert from PEM to PKCS#8 or PKCS#12, while many tried to answer the questions, those answers may not help because the correct answer depends on the content inside the PEM file. That is, a PEM file can contain many different things, such as an X509 certificate, a PKCS#1 or PKCS#8 private key. The worst-case scenario is that someone just store a non-PEM content in "something.pem" file.

Pure ESM package

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

  1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
    Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
  2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
  3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.
