Hello Everyone!


I'm very glad to announce my latest adventure into the open-source world!


Close to 40 days ago, I met SurrealDB, a tool that I found too good to be real, indeed, surreal.


And as a lover of #elixir programming language, I tried to make some projects involving it in the language.


What I discovered at the time is that we had no official support for the language, and no community packages providing it (at that point).


So, I started my adventure of building an Elixir Driver for Surreal DB, because of two main ways:

- I wanted to make it possible and easier to communicate these two amazing tools (Elixir and Surreal).

- I want both communities to grow, as I really believe in their potential as well as their goals.


There went some nights developing it post-job, and here it goes: The first version was released 5 days ago, and the community already started to gather around it!


Also, I was really surprised when the official Surreal DB team took a look at the project and liked it! 😄


After all, here's the link to the repository, feel free to try it out, and leave any comments you want to.
