Thinking Elixir Podcast
Description
Elixir 1.11 is shaping up to be a huge release with a number of "big deal" features. We are joined by Wojtek Mach to help us understand the significance of some of the new features. These include an improved recompilation process, when alias is preferred over import, improved compiler checks for structs, Erlang help docs in IEx, and more!
