Language support questions (Elixir)

[pdgonz...@gmail.com]

Hi!

Thanks for maintaining gRPC!

I wanted to reach out about a couple of questions I had about language support. I enjoy using the Elixir programming language and I know there are a few folks that use gRPC with it already, but the library[0] is not maintained by your project. With that said:

- have you considered adding Elixir[1] support?

- what are the requirements to support a language? Is there a formal request mechanism?

- I imagine you would not welcome a tutorial/examples (like the existing ones[2]) for a lib that is not maintained by your team, is that correct? If not,

Thanks you!

Paulo Daniel

Sorry for the `If not, ` typo above.

Hi Paulo,

Thanks for your post and your questions. The gRPC Docs Working Group started discussing these questions at their last meeting, a few days ago. I'll post here once we have some answers to share.

Any update to share? 

[Patrice Chalin]

Not yet since the Docs WG hasn't met -- we were all a gRPC Conf 2020 this week. I'll likely have something to share within the next two weeks.

Hi Patrice! Hope the world is not as crazy where you are as it is where I am! Lots of stuff going on, 2020 has been... interesting. :)

Hope you had a great time at the conference. I'm excited for a conference too, ElixirConf is next week!

Do you have any updates on this? Please let me know if there are any action points or anything I can do to help.

Thanks again!

[Patrice Chalin]

Hi Paulo! The topic was discussed in our last meeting, and action items were assigned. I don't have much more to report at the moment. I'm OOO for another couple of weeks, and I won't have more news to share before I'm back. Thanks for your patience. Patrice

Hi Patrice!

Are there any updates on this? Hope you have been doing well,

Thanks,

Paulo

Hi Paulo! Thanks for the ping. Probably the best thing to do is to present your case at the next community meeting. See the grpc.io Community page for a link to the meeting calendar, Meetup event page, Meeting doc, etc. Cheers, Patrice

[Paulo D Gonzalez]

Hi Patrice,

I'm not sure I have a case to present, I was just curious if folks in your project had intentions to support Elixir in the future. Happy to join the next meeting if you think is necessary, but I guess all I'd do is ask that question?

Right.

Patrice, I had a family emergency and was not able to attend the meeting.

I will try to make the June one.

Thanks,

Paulo

Sounds good.
