This is an overview of different ways to try and kill an OTP process (in Elixir) and the behaviour to expect when that happens. I know this is fairly basic stuff, but it’s the kind of thing I find myself forgetting and having to recheck, and the documentation I know about is a bit scattered.
I hope to follow up with the impact on on linked and monitoring processes.
As a bonus, the post is an executable LiveBook page, which you can download and execute yourself.
This is the first “LiveBook as a Post” I have come across. That was my first reaction to LiveBook- OMG now we can download executable write-ups!
Great post, btw! I am half-way reading.
Yeah, I thought it was worth experimenting with and fairly easy to quickly set up with Jekyll; I’ll do a quick write-up of that when I get the chance.
It’s not quite as satisfying as I’d like, though. It would be nice to capture the output in the static/blog version, for instance.
I have seen talks in which the speaker used Jupyter Notebooks instead of slides / live coding which worked quite well. I’d expect to see more of that with LiveBook in the future.
