Elixir? What on earth is Elixir?
It is a programming language that somewhat reminds me of Ruby. Here is some example Elixir code:
defmodule Hello do
IO.puts "Defining the function world"
def world do
IO.puts "Hello World"
end
IO.puts "Function world defined"
end
And it has a Stack Overflow community with around
50 tagged questions as of December 2013. And it has a
query DSL library called Ecto, which describes itself as such:
Ecto is a domain specific language for writing queries and interacting with databases in Elixir.
Example queries can be seen on the
project’s GitHub readme page:
A simple SELECT
use Ecto.Query
query = from w in Weather,
where: w.prcp > 0 or w.prcp == nil,
select: w
Repo.all(query)
Using JOINs
query = from p in Post,
where: p.id == 42,
left_join: c in p.comments,
select: assoc(p, c)
[post] = Repo.all(query)
post.comments.to_list
Looks like a slick (but not typesafe?) querying DSL mix between
LINQ and Clojure’s
sqlkorma.
For those brave ones among you using the Elixir language, this might be your one (and only) choice to access a SQL database! Good luck!
