Excited to share the new CodeFlow course for individuals and teams learning Elixir! Coming from OOP, Elixir can be jarring, make the mental shift faster and love the process! @elixirlang #elixirlang @ThinkingElixir
Launching new CodeFlow course! Covers branching logic, looping, and error handling. See how pattern matching, immutability and functional programming impact the basic structures of how we write Elixir code. @elixirlang #elixirlang thinkingelixir.com/available…

I just released Xandra v0.20 (@elixirlang driver for @cassandra/@ScyllaDB), which includes SO MANY goodies: token-aware routing, schema agreement, ScyllaDB shard-awareness, and more. Hoping you all will try it out and report issues 😌

It deserves a full write up, but Lua v1.0.0 (and now v1.0.2) has been released, with benchmarks!
This is a full @elixirlang implementation of Lua 5.3. Perfect for executing untrusted code from users, or for running Code Mode with Agents.

Pay attention, this is how you can powerful build agent experiences directly into your product running on the BEAM 👇
1/ We needed bash for our AI agent. We didn’t want to boot a sandbox for every session.
So we nerd-sniped a friend into porting an entire bash interpreter to Elixir.
Here’s how we built the Knock Agent on files + bash instead of a pile of tools 🧵

Sagents v0.8.0 is out. Our biggest release for building AI agents in Elixir. Interrupts that survive restarts, structured extraction through your agent, hard-stop tools, cross-process context, and a far lighter integration. Here's what changed since v0.7 github.com/sagents-ai/sagent…🧵

More polish:
- StreamingSession: host-agnostic streaming helpers with multi-tool-safe deltas, so sibling tool calls keep their UI state
- Middleware can persist synthetic transcript entries (like multi-step processes) through the same pipeline as LLM messages

v0.8.0 has breaking changes: transport, SubAgent task_name, Session/Factory, integer todo ids, replace_file_lines removed. Easiest upgrade: re-run mix sagents.setup on a clean branch and merge changes in. Full guide in the changelog: github.com/sagents-ai/sagent…
