My favorite talk is the Live View twitter demo on my case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZvmYaFkNJI.

Never before I've been so bluffed by a new technology, he's building a small twitter clone in 20min with live reload, browser sync and everything, this would take days with any other traditional tech I know.

This talk is what persuaded me to choose Elixir for our MMO game server. Best technical decision I’ve ever made. Saša Jurić’s book on Elixir is also great (although not strictly necessary considering how amazing the official Elixir intro tutorials are).

Clicked it because the hyperlink wasn't clear from the description.....

GOTO 2019 • The Soul of Erlang and Elixir • Saša Jurić

This talk feels, as a coding analogy, a lot more like throwing ingredients into a recipe than architecting an abstract machine.

This is what sold me on Elixir. I promptly purchased his book which was also amazing.
