Dear Maintainer,

are there any plans to enable Elixir support?

I think Elixir support would make ejabberd more hackable.
Writing custom modules is probably too hard for people (like me)
unfamiliar with Erlang. Elixir language seems easier to learn.

I already managed to build a Debian package ejabberd-21.07 with Elixir
support from salsa. (thank you for your great packaging job!)
But my package is not ready for production. There is still a lot of
work to do and my skills in Debian packaging and erlang/elixir/mix
toolchain are too limited to work on this alone.

If you consider implementing this feature, I'd be happy to help.

Hi there!

So far there aren't any.

I know next to nothing about Elixir, but if you can help out I'd be
happy to add Elixir support to ejabberd in Debian.

It might be sensible to loop in the maintainers of Elixir in Debian.


Regards
