Elixir Outlaws

This week starts with Amos describing the new features elixir 1.7 and Chris explaining some queueing theory. Afterwards Anna describes her experience solving a bug in her crypto-currency exchange. This leads to a discussion on how to find bugs in distributed systems, the dangers of generating data based on types and how to guide generators so they find more bugs.

Anna, Amos, and Chris start this week by discussing the recently released elixir documentary. Amos brings up the virus that was discovered in eslint-scope which detours into a conversation about reading through library dependencies. The hosts eventually make their way to the main topic for this week: How to find the correct restart intensity for your supervisors.

This week Amos kicks off the show by talking about his memory issues and Anna discusses her work on building a crypto currency exchange. The hosts then dive in to the main topic of this week: is Erlang "the most object oriented language" and if so is that a good thing.
