Elixir Wizards is an interview-style podcast for anyone interested in functional programming and the Elixir Programming Language. Hosted by SmartLogic engineers and Elixirists Owen Bickford, Dan Ivovich, and Sundi Myint, this show features in-depth discussions with some of the brightest minds in the industry, discussing training and documentation in Phoenix LiveView, the evolution of programming languages, Erlang VM, and more. In the current season, we're branching out from Elixir to compare notes with thought leaders and software engineers from programming languages like JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, Go, Scala, Java, and more. Each episode will take a deep dive into a topic from Machine Learning and AI, to ECS and game development, to education and community. Learn more about how SmartLogic uses Phoenix and Elixir.

Enter the Elixirverse: Season 14 Wrap-Up

Today, the Elixir Wizards wrap up Season 14 “Enter the Elixirverse.” Dan, Charles, and Sundi look back at some common themes: Elixir plays well with others, bridges easily to access languages and tools, and remains a powerful technology for data flow, concurrency, and developer experience. We revisit the popular topics of the year, from types and tooling to AI orchestration and reproducible dev environments, and share what we’re excited to explore next.

We also invite your questions and takeaways to help shape future seasons and conference conversations. Season 14 doubles as a handy primer for anyone curious about how Elixir integrates across the stack.

Key topics discussed in this episode:

Lessons from a season of interoperability
Set-theoretic types and what new compiler warnings unlock
AI in practice: LLM orchestration, fallbacks, and real-world use
SDUI and GraphQL patterns for shipping UI across web/iOS/Android
Dataframes in Elixir with Explorer for analytics workflows
Python interoperability (ErlPort, PythonX) and when to reach for it
Reproducible dev environments with Nix and friends
Performance paths: Rustler and Zig for native extensions
Bluetooth & Nerves: Blue Heron and hardware integrations
DevEx upgrades: LiveView, build pipelines, and standard project setup
Observability and ops: Prometheus/Grafana and sensible deployments
Community feedback, conferences, and what’s on deck for next season ### Links mentioned in this episode:
