Interesting book. I got it ordered to check it out.

Does anyone have any interesting examples of Nerves or Elixir Circuits being used in industry and not by the developers of Nerves? I tried using Elixir Circuits a while back for a simple project but found it a little non-standard and got the impression it's only used by the few people developing it.

I’ve just finished an rpi based device that would be going into mass production if it wasn’t for the parts shortage, with some digital IO and I2C. It took me about a year calendar time to convert the software stack to elixir+nerves as a side project, with many improvements just because of the good infrastructure support for remote deployment. Circuits wasn’t particularly weird, though it had only limited support for some advanced GPIO functions.

Any details of the domain? I'm just curious, so if you can't share to protect the idea/IP, no worries.

For me, I ran into a limitation of Circuits.UART and didn't get the feeling that the maintainers cared to improve it beyond their own needs.
