> Slow as hell is a very scientific measurement :) On par with the claim that "Elixir is fast". > Processing speed for what workload on what hardware? Sequential processing, what did you think? BEAM excels at running many sequential processes at the same time, it would be very hard to match that. (And that's why for text processing I use Perl or sometimes Python, but for services that pass data back and forth through network I use Erlang.)
