This release introduces a variable called MIX_OS_DEPS_COMPILE_PARTITION_COUNT, which instructs mix deps.compile to compile dependencies in parallel.

That’s a real gem on big projects.

It's not a gem, it's a mix :3

have been eyeing elixir for a while, should give it another try. the whole beam/otp/erlang is a bit scary though

I was 'just' a JS dev in 2017 and learned Elixir for fun as my second language---worth looking at imo!
