Elixir v1.20 released! Now officially a gradually typed language: Elixir type checks every single line of code, finding bugs and dead code, without developer overhead (no typing signatures) and extremely low false positives rate. Plus a faster compiler! Links and reports below.

New package for #AshFramework: AshScim! #ElixiLang going enterprise y'all.😂
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management: RFCs 7643 & 7644) is the standard way for an identity provider like #Okta or Azure AD to push users and groups into your application: who joined, who got deactivated, who got added to which group. It's how enterprises expect to manage access at scale, and it's almost always a hard requirement for selling into them.
Many indie-hackers won't get the value of push-button SCIM integration, but if you've ever built for enterprise, this kind of thing being easy is drool-inducing.
Just `mix igniter.install ash_scim` (once the installer is done and it is published on hex) and you're SCIM enabled 💣.
It works with Ash's multitenancy out of the box, so if you want to let your customers in a multi-tenant application configure their own IdP, nothing stops you.
Still need to battle-test for a while and get it security-reviewed before publishing on Hex, but you're welcome to poke around/experiment until then.

#ElixirLang 🤝 #Typescript like never before 😎 AshTypescript just launched `TypedChannel`, completing the circle on end-to-end type safety between your TS frontend and Elixir backend, fully generated from your #AshFramework resources. This is *huge* 🤯. I cannot overstate it.

We just shipped Distributed Python on top of the Erlang distribution, with full Elixir and Livebook integration: dashbit.co/blog/distributed-…
And much more: intellisense, zero-copy Apache Arrow, and more. Read the article for all the details.
A huge thank you to NLnet Foundation for sponsoring our work. They are always looking for new ideas and you have until April 1st to join the next batch: nlnet.nl

📢The latest AshTypescript release brings you t typed controllers🎉 Using Typescript with Phoenix has never been easier, with or without #AshFramework. Thanks to Torkild for his awesome package! I might be working on a PR for something pretty cool there myself 😎 #ElixirLang

Now I am assuming @AnthropicAI is just waiting to do the funny thing and they will announce Sonnet 5 as soon as I publish my post.

We wrote a new mutations guide for TanStack DB! The information was scattered around but we wanted a single place to explain DB's philosophy and APIs around mutations
tanstack.com/db/latest/docs/…
Hope it's useful and let us know if there's anything still not clear!

Another 🔥 package release from @maennchen_ 😎
AshDiagram is a library for generating beautiful diagrams to visualize your #AshFramework applications. Generate Entity Relationship, Class, C4 Architecture, and Policy diagrams directly from your Ash resources and domains. 🚀

Also, people should realize that you could literally just define an Ash.Resource and use it for just one of your tables to use with Cinder. Ash is not an all-or-nothing thing. Cinder is awesome, and it uses Resource info to do lots of smart stuff 😁 #AshFramework #ElixirLang
Cinder from @sevenseacat is🔥. Soon: Add filters for fields that aren't rendered as part of your table, with :filter slots! Use all of filter options as columns, like selects/multiselects, datetimes, or case-sensitivity for text fields. #ElixirLang #AshFramework
