I had enough I unsubbed from r/Elixir.

Instead of helping in any possible way, it is just making me DESPISE this tribal usual-culprit advertising mode that always the very same people seem to have.

It's incredibly dissapointing. I get more meaningful updates about Elixir in Mastodon than in any commercial site. It's the same people in Reddit, BlueSky, Twitter. Posting the same SHITE again and again.

Integrating @bioconductor packages with the #ELIXIR Research Software Ecosystem using #EDAM

pasteur.hal.science/hal-050983

From the recent ELIXIR All Hands Meeting, 2025, Jun 2025, Thessalokini, Greece

pasteur.hal.scienceIntegrating Bioconductor packages with the ELIXIR research software ecosystem using EDAMBioconductor is a global open-source project providing over 2,000 packages for a wide range of bioinformatics applications, and a critical resource for life science research. Bioconductor uses the biocViews controlled vocabulary for the description of package metadata. However, it lacks the formal structure of an ontology and is conceived for internal use only, thereby limiting semantic search capabilities and interoperability of the packages with other software and repositories. EDAM is a domain ontology describing data analysis and management concepts in biosciences, making it a good candidate for the annotation of Bioconductor software packages. EDAM is a key component for the FAIRification of ELIXIR resources, including the ELIXIR Research Software Ecosystem (RSEc) and the bio.tools registry, which holds a collection of more than 30,000 entries, curated and annotated using EDAM terms. In order to FAIRify Bioconductor packages and enhance the RSEc, this project seeks to improve Bioconductor packages metadata by using the EDAM ontology, and automate their integration into the bio.tools registry. Most of this work was initiated as a 2024 ELIXIR BioHackathon project. Key results include mapping the biocViews vocabulary to EDAM, integrating Bioconductor metadata into the RSEc with automated updates, and prototyping a tool for automated EDAM term suggestions. Together, these achievements establish a strong foundation for further integration and metadata refinement of the Bioconductor packages. Beyond advancing the EDAM standard, this initiative builds a collaborative bridge between Bioconductor and ELIXIR, and contributes to ongoing efforts towards a more accessible and interoperable bioinformatics ecosystem.

Dear fediverse, I'm available for hiring as a freelance remote coder for 15 to 20 hours per week. The tech stack I want to try alongside Elixir is Rust and would love to work on a project that is Rust based for half the work-week. The best way to learn is on the job.

I want to become really STRONG on those two languages: Elixir and Rust.

If interested reply to this toot.

"@bonfire & #guix, a love story" - An #Elixir based framework to build federated applications with Guix as a general purpose provisioning tool, providing trustable, functional and reproducible packages; bundled together as the Guix System distro, which provides transactional, atomic upgrades

@derickr @ricmac

it could have been perl or maybe something else. In the end does it really matter? Php was the communication tool people chose to write poems like #wikipedia, #wordpress, #drupal, #moodle and countless other applications that made the open source web a thriving reality.

With all the pomp and competense of newer arrivals, whether #golang, #typescript, #rust or #elixir, they haven't quite made web history yet.

In the end only impact matters and php did it.

@atlgaytheist Well, damn, this just dropped out the sky. Took a look at the repo and, well, damn again - they seemed to have fixed many of the core tech/UI/UX issues with Mastodon.

Interesting choice with coding languages chosen. I've been seeing more #Elixir used in these types of projects.

And, sponsored by #NLNet which has been a massive driving force in building better OSS and distributed tech.

I'll spin up a test server and check out what type of integration would be possible on theATL.social.

And finally, I think it's good for Mastodon to have some healthy competition in the Fediverse. I'm fascinated to see where this goes in the coming months.
