Keynote: Livebook: where Web, AI, and Concurrency meet

Creator of Elixir. Chief Adoption Officer at Dashbit. Prev. Rails core. Ruby Hero Award recipient.

Keynote

While it has been more than a decade since I wrote my last line of Ruby code, there are lessons the Ruby community taught me that I have never forgotten. And the biggest of them is to always be open to new ideas. In this talk, I will present Livebook, which borrows from Python, Erlang, JavaScript, and more, and enables us to introspect systems at scale, build machine learning applications, and run web applications, and much more within minutes. I hope I will inspire the audience to explore new ideas within their daily tools.
