Gently Down the Stream

Elixir provides the concept of enumerables, allowing you to transform, sort, group, filter and retrieve items using functions in the enum module. As an alternative to Enum, Elixir provides the Stream module which supports lazy operations. This talk will give an overview of the Stream module. We'll go into depth with some examples of when to and when not to use Stream over Enum. This talk may go into some code diving to explore how Stream does it's thing.

OBJECTIVES

Educate the user when it is appropriate to use Stream vs Enum

AUDIENCE

Intermediate developers who know how to use Enum already, but may not have explored Stream.
