Amazing work!
Your statement says that you have actor-based simulation model that's inspired by erlang - is there a reason why you picked rust instead of a BEAM language for developing the backend? My guess would be performance, maybe?

- dnautics 8y agoRust is interesting to me but honestly, I'm going to stick to elixir because I have high confidence I can train juniors to code safely on it, and I have no particular need for performance (most of my stuff is iO or network bound)
- eggy 8y agoWrite NIFs in Rust, or C if you want to stay on the BEAM, and still get performance if you need it. Elixir/Phoenix are the Ruby/Rails of today. I do like getting low-level within the same PL, so this has truly inspired me to dig more into Rust. I am still playing with Zig though.
- theanzelm 8y agoExactly. My actor system operates on much smaller, much simpler actors. See the sibling comment for my in-depth talk on it.
