As the other reply noted, I’d be shocked if it wouldn’t be much better now, seeing something like graal being used would be really interesting. I think if Elixir could target beam or jvm it would be an amazing language for many tasks.
- throwawaymaths 4y ago> it would be an amazing language No, it wouldn't. Elixir is getting really fast computation through, e.g. nx, and the user story is incredible (OS install to stable diffusion in 40 minutes, most of which is dicking around figuring out how to install CUDA). Is it easy to run stable diffusion on jvm?
- nickpeterson 4y agoI think you might be taking my comment as implying the jvm is better than beam but that isn’t the argument I’m making. Having a strong jvm option means you can cut through a ton of corporate red tape. I don’t need to convince some skeptical CTO if the jvm is reasonable. It’s makes choosing elixir for a project feel about as hard a change as using clojure or groovy.
- throwawaymaths 4y agoYeah and not too many ctos would choose clojure or groovy either, and the ones that are, aren't oking it "because it's on the jvm".
- nickpeterson 4y agoI don’t think we’re going to reach an agreement. I believe languages running on the jvm helps give assurance to businesses. You disagree with that belief, we can leave it there.
