so what are you folks working on in elixir?
im making a multiplayer game server that i'll be talking about in elixirconf eu in a few weeks. still got lots to do: https://codeberg.org/ellyxir/gameserver -- god, i really need to add something interesting in the README.md
it comes with a nethack-like game that shows off the multiplayer aspect.
im having a lot of fun with it
for work, i have a client that is building an ai orchestration system so i use elixir for that.
