267: Dive into Tidewave Web with José Valim

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!
