Thanks for the contribution, @mrchypark!

How long does:

• building the dev container
• compiling & running the app

typically take for you? I just tested this definition, and it took 7-10 minutes for the container to build, and over a minute for the test project to compile.

I also see mentions of Elixir, i.e. Develop Elixir based applications. in the readme. Is that intentional?

I knew I was wrong. thanks! It's corrected.

And, in my machine(win11 wsl2 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz), took 1-2 minutes for the container to build, and 2.28s for the test project to compile.

Thanks @mrchypark! Also as a note, we are looking into how we can enable the community to more easily share definitions and features like those in this repository. There are additional details in this issue: #1291.

@bamurtaugh cool. I'll watch that issue.

Thanks again for opening this PR and for the discussion so far!

As mentioned above, our team has been actively focused on an updated plan for community contributions and this repo moving forward, which we've now outlined in this issue: #1589. This includes moving to a couple new repos for images (https://github.com/devcontainers/images) and Features (https://github.com/devcontainers/features).

We anticipate to have a similar repo and distribution process for templates/definitions. We'll keep everyone updated (likely via another issue in this repo or comment on #1589) when our new templates repo is available and the process is defined.

Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you!
