In #Elixir, today learned about Agents today and a handy little tool :observer.start() that shows a bunch of statistics from BEAM.

Today I learned about Mnesia, the distributed database built into the #Erlang runtime.

I just finished an #Elixir exercise of implementing a program that plays Hangman using a Dictionary. I'm so proud of this file that I'm sharing it here.

It looks so elegant and clean and no conditionals in the code. Its incredible!

Erlang is so rad. The runtime ships with a native RPC-like system without all the fuss, in-memory key-value store, a full distributed database system, supervisors, and more.

Considering my interest in functional programming for over 2 years now. I feel really happy about it.

After spending a few days with #Elixir it seems like I may have crossed the entry barier in the functional programming.

Last night I skimmed through a basic #Haskell syntax tutorial and some of it made a lot more intuitive sense although I don't completely understand it. Same thing with #Elm.

The leak checks have passed and everything is alright again.

Its 4:23 am here and its still one and half hour left for the launch. I might fall asleep before that

The team cleaned the hatch and found some debris that might be causing the leak. The hatch will close again now.

There seems to be a pressure leak. Not sure how critical is really is yet but troubleshooting is going on.

This is possibly one of the best TED talks I've seen. If you can, follow along with the drawings 🎨
