News includes Erlang OTP 28.2 release with improvements across the runtime and standard library, a significant update to the Elixir "whois" library for querying domain registration information, Tidewave Web adding Figma support for designer integration, a new KQL (Kibana Query Language) parser library from TvLabs, the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation now publishing vulnerability data directly to OSV.dev, and more! We also have an in-depth discussion about the difference between handling errors and designing for failure, exploring how Elixir and the BEAM give you the ability to plan for system recovery from unexpected exceptions using primitives like supervisors.

News includes a new library called Lotus and LotusWeb that provides a safe, read-only environment for running SQL analytics queries with organized storage for saved queries. After the news, we had an interview with Mateusz Front about the Popcorn project, which enables Elixir to run in WebAssembly (WASM) in the browser courtesy of AtomVM. We dig into how it works, what it's capable of doing, and where it could go in the future!

News includes the exciting announcement of Tidewave Web, a new AI-powered service that runs locally in your development environment with an AI chat sidebar that can directly interact with and modify your Phoenix and Rails applications. José Valim joins us for a deeper dive into Tidewave as well! We also cover a comprehensive new ElixirLang blog post about interoperability in 2025 that explores all the ways Elixir and BEAM can work with other languages and runtimes, from traditional NIFs and Ports to newer options like AtomVM for microcontrollers, Popcorn for browser deployment, and integrations with Rust, Zig, Python, and C++. Additionally, Livebook Teams has officially launched out of beta with SSO support and enterprise features, Oban v2.20.0 brings job updating capabilities and improved plugin supervision, PhoenixAnalytics v0.4.0 adds 12 new themes and drops the DuckDB requirement, LiveView v1.1.7 introduces a new stream_async function, and more!
