I was pretty excited about Elixir: great scalability and performance? Awesome! I had an idea for a type of reverse proxy, so I wrote in on elixir + cowboy. Go to performance test it, and the results are nothing to write home about. Thought I was doing something wrong, but looking around I didn't find any performance test results that were all that different. What is the point of "lightweight threads" if the "heavier" solutions are way faster? Here's TechEmpower's latest benchmark results.
