ElixirConf 2017 included a talk about building a UI “natively” in Elixir that is quite exciting to me! (It uses a port to talk to OpenGL via a small C wrapper). I’m looking forward to the code being released so I can play around with it.

Here’s the link to the forum post discussing the talk that @boydm gave at ElixirConf:

No browser, no wxWidgets, just Erlang, Elixir and OpenGL… Intended for embedded applications, but with possibilities for use beyond. The framework supports multiple scenes, animations, input, forms, fonts…
