Elixir does not do anything better at IO than other languages.
- zaphar 3y agoThey do have a really compelling conccurent processing story though, which is what most people mean when they say it's better at IO.
- sph 3y agoWhat's "other languages"? IO lists, which are the foundation of anything that build a string incrementally, are managed with vectored IO syscalls out of the box (readv/writev), which you'd have to handle yourself in most other languages, or resort to allocating and endless memory copying which Erlang is able to avoid.
