I tried that, but the Rust build process was too painful, and agents seemed to burn a lot of tokens guessing how to get the code to compile. I rewrote my project in Elixir and it’s been going much more smoothly


Elixir is great, and I have recently started using it myself, but its not a substitute for Rust. Try writing device driver in Elixir, or anything CPU intensive.


GP said nothing of what they were building. Seems pretty probable it was a web service/application rather than a device driver.


That is my point. It might be better for some use cases, but those are very different from the ones Rust is best.


I’m building a heavily parallel dataflow system. I thought Rust might be good for concurrency.


You mean your LLMs had an easier time with Elixir. Do you actually know either of the two yourself?


what’s the difference
