Love the fact that they got the PR through in 10 minutes. Jose Valim is genuinely one of the warmest and most welcoming language BDFLs I've ever seen, and I don't believe Elixir would be as great without him.
He's everywhere. You open a issue on one of the dozen most used Elixir libraries, and he'll answer by end of day. I envy his work ethic and I appreciate how he's always very patient with everybody.
In general everyone at dashbit seem to be very warm people. Good culture fosters good culture.
Same here. More than once I asked a question on the channel (now on Libera?) and the first person to answer would be Jose. I can highly recommend the series of interviews that the Thinking Elixir podcast did with him where they go through the entire history of Elixir versions:
Regex should be kept to a minimum in an API because it is a known DOS attack vector. Sounds a bit worrying if they also have parameters that affect execution time.
2020 post. Good write up on technical issue that demonstrated tooling and process to identify a superfluous regex compile in the base framework. Quick patch and suddenly it’s faster for everyone! Neat!
