The conference was excellent. Thanks to all involved. Haven't experienced that much energy around any segment of the programming community in a very long time.
Cool idea. I didn't know if Confreaks would have these. ElixirConf 2015's talks were uploaded by ErlangSolutions' channel and when I messaged them the said they wouldn't be hosting this years talks but Jim would probably let people know when they were up somewhere.
I'm actually working on one that I hope to have ready by sometime next week.
Short version:
1. Elixir, Phoenix, Umbrella and Nerves were the main "themes" of the conference
2. Lots of emphasis on Nerves
3. Closing keynote of "Elixir for the next 10 years" is one of the best talks on any subject I've heard in several years and a must watch.
4. For me, the Dialyzer talk was one of the most interesting because it explained how the lack of operator overloading lets Dialyzer map and infer types at compile time, so a variable next to a + is always a number for example and with that you can map wrongful usages. For anywhere that the type is ambiguous (function with a _ variable) you can use a typespec comment to tell Dialyzer exactly what it is. Gives you implicitly strong typing and type checking without that rigidity that comes from fully static typing.
I'm delighted with the slides for "String Theory". For some reason, my web searches have never found how the UTF-8 coding works, but their explanation is crystal clear. I'm going to have to buy the mug.

I also found this little review from a first-timer nice.[0]

Even videos are s-l-o-w compared to reading.
