Last week was an exciting one for AtomVM! A new podcast episode about running Gleam on microcontrollers and a talk at Code BEAM Europe!
Gleam on microcontrollers
On Friday, October 23, Davide Bettio and Giacomo Cavalieri joined BEAM There, Done That for a conversation about running Gleam on microcontrollers with AtomVM.
The episode covers what it takes to run BEAM languages on tiny devices, why Gleam is a great fit for embedded development, and how new tooling makes getting started easier than ever.
Give the episode a listen!
Code BEAM Europe
A couple of days earlier, on Wednesday, October 21, AtomVM was also at Code BEAM Europe, with the talk Updates from the AtomVM Landscape.
The slides are now online, covering recent developments and what’s coming next for AtomVM.
Bitstrings have landed!
Things are moving fast, and even the Code BEAM Europe slides are already a little outdated: AtomVM now supports non-byte-aligned bitstrings!
Thanks to PR #2357, support for non-byte-aligned bitstrings has been merged into the release-0.7 branch!
Another long-awaited feature crossed off the list, and another step toward better BEAM compatibility!
