	308: Elixir Goes Gradually Typed	16 Jun 2026	00:32:54
Elixir v1.20 has officially landed, marking a huge milestone as the language is now officially a gradually typed language, type checking every single line of code without requiring developer annotations, and even prompting some developers to drop Dialyzer entirely. HexDocs is rolling out per-package subdomains for improved browser security isolation, the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation has launched an Ecosystem Registry to help answer "who uses this?" for Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam companies, and the Lua library for Elixir is approaching its v1.0 release with a brand new pure-Elixir Lua 5.3 VM. On the security front, a sophisticated self-replicating worm called Miasma compromised 73 Microsoft GitHub repos by exploiting legitimate OIDC tokens and valid SLSA provenance, even weaponizing AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor, raising fresh questions about supply chain safety and whether Hex might benefit from a cooldown mechanism like the one Ruby just shipped, and more!

	306: Don't Exhaust Your Atoms	02 Jun 2026	00:27:23
Security takes center stage this week as the EEF's Jonatan Männchen highlights that atom exhaustion accounts for roughly one tenth of all CVEs in the BEAM ecosystem and Sobelow can help catch it before it hits production. Hackney users get an urgent nudge to upgrade to v4.0.3, which patches 9 CVEs including high-severity issues and fixes missing HTTP/3 certificate verification, thanks in part to Peter Ullrich's AI-assisted vulnerability research. On the exciting side, the new Elixir 1.20-rc.6 type system is proving its worth in the real world, with Tyler Young reporting it caught ~500 issues, including outright bugs, that 1.19 completely missed. Dannote releases "vibe", an ambitious BEAM-native coding agent for Elixir/OTP projects featuring a TUI, LiveView web console, subagents, and more!
