In this video, we explore how to implement a MinHeap data structure in Elixir, taking advantage of the language’s flexibility to create a generic interface and allowing dynamic switching of implementations during runtime. The main goal is to demonstrate how the combination of facades and benchmarks can be used to measure the performance of different approaches, adapting to the performance needs of the system in real time.

Join Bart Blast, creator of Hologram, for a hands-on deep dive into frontend development with pure Elixir at ElixirConfEU!

With over 20 years of experience building web applications, Bart’s passion is making web development intuitive and efficient — and Hologram is his proof that rich, interactive UIs don’t need to leave Elixir behind.

📅 Date: 2025-05-14

In this full-day training, you’ll:✅ Master Hologram’s core concepts & architecture✅ Build interactive UIs using only Elixir✅ Learn client-side state management patterns✅ Get hands-on with real-world exercises

No matter your experience level, this is your chance to expand your Elixir toolkit and rethink what’s possible in frontend development — all while staying in the language you love.
