This video was recorded at ElixirConf EU Virtual 2020 - https://www.elixirconf.eu/ More great virtual tech conferences - https://codesync.global --- Mint Disrupting HTTP clients by Andrea Leopardi ABSTRACT Mint is a young HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 client for Elixir that aims at disrupting the status quo of HTTP clients for Erlang and Elixir. Mint is built on the idea of having a functional, data-centric client that is not backed up by a process and doesn't impose a process architecture on its users. In this talk, we'll discuss the ideas behind Mint's design and get a feel of how Mint works. We'll spend some time exploring how the low-level interface that Mint provides lets us build different abstractions on top of it that are suited for different situations. We'll see the future of Mint and what abstractions it will enable. --- THE SPEAKER - Andrea Leopardi Andrea is a human born in the ancient lands of central Italy. He loves functional programming, beautiful code, and learning stuff. He's a software architect, speaker, and member of the core team of the Elixir programming language. His weak spot is having red hair. --- ElixirConf EU Website: https://www.elixirconf.eu/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElixirConfEU
