A collection of links that cover what happened during ElixirConf 2016

Short version:

1. Elixir, Phoenix, Umbrella and Nerves were the main "themes" of the conference 2. Lots of emphasis on Nerves 3. Closing keynote of "Elixir for the next 10 years" is one of the best talks on any subject I've heard in several years and a must watch.

4. For me, the Dialyzer talk was one of the most interesting because it explained how the lack of operator overloading lets Dialyzer map and infer types at compile time, so a variable next to a + is always a number for example and with that you can map wrongful usages. For anywhere that the type is ambiguous (function with a _ variable) you can use a typespec comment to tell Dialyzer exactly what it is. Gives you implicitly strong typing and type checking without that rigidity that comes from fully static typing.
