Episode description

Today I am joined by Sam Aaron, creator of Sonic Pi.

If you do not know Sonic Pi you are in for a treat. Sam Aaron is a visionary developer who decided to solve one of the most problematic issues in education: getting children to focus. His answer to the problem? Introduce fun and games.

How is this related to Elixir? Well... I recommend you listen to the full episode, because as Sam points out, Music is all about concurrency, and our very own Jose Valim has been sponsoring the development of this project.

If you are so inclined, Sam welcomes Elixir developers to contribute to his efforts to push the boundaries of this field. You may want to get in touch!
