I recently wrote a parser in Elixir for a templating language. Binary pattern matching is pretty neat for this purpose, but performance is nevertheless sub-optimal. Elixir was chosen over more suitable languages because our team is Elixir-only. OP shows that delegating performance critical computations in Rust is viable and fairly cleanly. That's good to know.

Have you taken a look at https://rhye.org/post/erlang-binary-matching-performance/ https://rhye.org/post/erlang-binary-matching-performance/ ? I've seen lots of posts in the erlang mailing list about how unintuitive getting optimal performance from binary pattern matching can be.

  It's also worth trying on OTP-22, which is reportedly much better at optimizing binary patterns: http://blog.erlang.org/OTP-22-Highlights/ http://blog.erlang.org/OTP-22-Highlights/
