Nothing does, 5 millions __concurrent__ user creating and sending new data in real time is huge. Not to mention video and sound.

- pdimitar 8y agoYes. In my eyes the win here isn't concurrent performance that cannot get beaten by anything else; I am pretty sure a carefully crafted Golang or Rust stack can beat Elixir any day. But they won't have the fault tolerance guarantees of the BEAM VM. The real win IMO is the good reliability:performance ratio that Discord achieved. I feel Erlang/Elixir are excellent in optimizing this exact metric.
- bpicolo 8y agoGolang and Rust also don’t give you a direct path to distributed actors.
