2026/07/15 - DC Elixir - Build Night: Hands-on with Zig and Zigler - Washington DC/USA

Join DC Elixir for a hands-on night where we dive deep into Zigler—bridging Elixir’s elegance with Zig’s speed. No prior Zig experience? No problem!

Here’s how it’ll go down:

  • Crash intro – Just enough Zig to get dangerous
  • Pair up – From “Hello NIF” to wrapping real C libraries together
  • Showtime – Show off your creation (or glorious failures)

Bring: A laptop (with Elixir 1.19+), curiosity, and maybe a good sense of humor.

Let’s break things—then make them blazing fast.

Wish I could be there. Will it be posted to YouTube?

Sorry to say, we’ve been keeping it in-person (and we don’t have the streaming infra)
