RunElixir.com - A free, 30min Elixir Quickstart Guide

The section titled “Recursive Functions” on the “Loops” page is of course extremely important. I think it deserves a bit more explanation to help the new user

Thank you @forestial. I added a small explainer to the recursive loop section.

@shishini thank you for that suggestion but until we have an “official” way to install Elixir on Windows, I prefer to link to the official docs on how to install this stuff. I use asdf myself on macOS, so I can monitor if that installer works, but I have no way to check whether e.g. winget continues to work and don’t want to advertise an outdated installation process on RunElixir. I’d rather leave it to the official docs to keep these things up-to-date.

If I got it right, the tech stack is the same as the official docs? Did you consider adding to it?

Yes, @rhcarvalho RunElixir uses the ex_doc but I think it should stay “it’s own thing” for now because it’s an opinionated approach to getting started with Elixir and the official Elixir docs already have a “Getting started” section.

Is there some other thread where adding LiveBook-based examples to the official docs is/was discussed? It could help with discoverability.

Not that I know, but there’s https://notes.club/ and somewhere there’s an awesome GitHub repo will all kinds of Livebook examples. I couldn’t find it quickly though, so if somebody has a link to it, that’d be much appreciated.
