because you're not reaching for elixir when you need performance.
btw we do sometimes bitch about performance :)
But then we have ports/NIFs etc that shell out to Rust & Zig ...
Not a silver bullet. There are also C nodes but they’re used even less.
> NIFs that shell to zig
I'm aware
I asked because I do it sometimes too.
I meant to point out that, for the use-cases where functional languages are used - production performance seems very acceptable, compared to having to micromanage memory allocation.
