We cover the news then talk with Lukas Larsson and John Högberg to learn about the new BeamAsm project that brings a JIT compiler to Erlang OTP and Elixir. This is a very exciting development for all Beam languages and they break down for us what it is, how it works, how it impacts us as Elixir developers, when to expect it, and they share insights into developing OTP. An episode you don’t want to miss!
