lfetool 1.5.0 Preview: Overriding Version Pinning
Looking for volunteers to test new lfetool feature
The next version of lfetool will provide users with the flexibility
to override dependencies with pinned versions in their project's
rebar.config file. This post is aimed at folks on the LFE mail list who
may be interested in using this right away or helping to do QA. Of course,
if others find themselves compelled to use and test the pre-release code,
they are quite welcome (with open arms, even)!

Coming Soon: LFE Friday!
With Steven Proctor's blessing, LFE will be re-publishing Erlang Thursdays...
By all accounts,
Erlang Thursday
is a smash hit! We love the work that
Steven Proctor is doing for the Erlang community
… so much so, that we've asked him if we can translate his weekly posts into
LFE for "LFE Friday". We were quite delighted when he said "Yes!" :-)

Scientific Computing on the Erlang VM
Polynomial Curve Fitting with LFE
This tutorial brings in the New Year by introducing the Erlang/LFE
scientific computing library lsci
– a ports wrapper of NumPy and SciPy (among others) for the Erlang ecosystem.
The topic of the tutorial is polynomial curve-fitting for a given data set.
Additionally, this post further demonstrates py
usage, the
previously discussed
Erlang/LFE library for running Python code from the Erlang VM.

Easy Python from LFE/Erlang
The quickest way to use Python from LFE/Erlang
Recently there has been a great deal of interest in running Python from
Erlang/LFE. In particular,
these
two
posts have gotten a lot of attention. This post introduces a new library for
LFE and Erlang that builds upon the work demonstrated in those posts, and
furthermore, points towards a future of distributed Python … a future that is
just a few days away.

Post Sprint Report: LFE Experience
A first-encounter with LFE from an Erlang appreciator with a Lisp background.
My
team and I have just finished our first major sprint using LFE and I thought
this would be a good time to report on our experience. Our stack is built around
YAWS and we are using MySQL as the database. We're not
using any templating language, but instead relying on an API-based architecture
with all front-end interactions in JavaScript + HTML.

lutil 0.5.0: Composition, Predicates and Core lutil
New features in lutil 0.4.1
With the
release of lutil 0.5.0,
there are new "compose" functions accompanying the
previously-merged
thrushing macros as well as a new convenience include file which contains all
of lutil's predicate functions defined for easy use in the REPL or in modules.
Additionally there is a new, experimental include file that is beginning to
define functions and macros considered "core" to the LFE experience but which
aren't yet (and may never be) included in LFE-proper. Some of these may wrap
Erlang functions with more options, others may provide new syntax, etc. See
below for usage examples.
