Hi, I just watched through the first two parts of your three part intro to Texas on YouTube.

I noted that you restart the server process each time you make a change to the elixir application and coming from the Clojure universe I have the following question: Is it possible to insetad of restarting the server program each time you make a change to it's source code instead modify the program as it is running?

This is usually how I work on my Clojure programs and I find that doing that which results in near instant feedback while I am programming.

yeah, phoenix already has live-reloading included, I just probably hadn't setup the watchers properly or I was being dumb xD - it's pretty trivial to have everything setup to give instant feedback, though
