Is it really that much faster? I mean, Rails is a separate problem, but I would have put Erlang in the same perf bracket as Ruby/Perl/Python.

- Exuma 9y agoPerhaps in raw computation its more similar, but based on the context of your comment (and its parent), it seems more like you're comparing it to ruby+rails in a real-life scenario (say, a web app). (The original comment was about "what did he gain"?) In that case, the multithreaded nature of Elixir and the VM there's no comparison. I tried searching for raw ruby+erlang benchmarks but couldnt find much in the short time I looked.
- out_of_protocol 9y agoCan confirm, elixir+phoenix outperforms ruby+rails by ~10x. If we're talking about pure ruby and elixir, things become complicated, you can do some stuff a bit faster in ruby sometimes (where ruby is using native optimized C code)
