Nah, the main lesson is that fundamentally new ways of doing things are only accepted once the old guard are all dead [1].

Glad it was helpful :)
I’ll keep an eye on this ‘proper’ Zed support for sure, although the current setup is working just fine so I might wait for v0.2.

What will be interesting (and exciting) is seeing how GPU nodes are incorporated into platforms like fly.io, to really make this “elixir for ML/AI” thing seamless.

Yep. In fact, lisps tend to pop up quite a bit in livecoding (and in other places, really).
https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding is a nice curated list of live coding languages and tools.

If you click through, pretty everything is online (except lecture recordings). Slides, lab material, etc. is all available. Next year I'm planning on releasing the lecture recordings as well.
Although as I said, there are certainly some things I'll tweak next year, having been through it once. I'm under no illusions about it being perfect :)

I teach this stuff using a stm32l476vg discovery board at the Australian National University[0]. I re-wrote the course earlier this year to use that board (previous incarnations used a homebrew teaching architecture - emulated in software only).
It went really well - although there are always rough edges the first time through a course. Next year, I'm going to tighten things up (one of my jobs over the southern summer before the course runs again in Feb 2018).
Happy to answer any questions that folks have.
