Thank you man (I know you are the author of Meeseks), I didn't know that. Always knew that the current info was the Meeseks was faster than Floki but it seems that OTP 21 largely eliminated that as you said.
Valuable info, thanks!
Valuable info, thanks!
On the plus side there were some nice memory improvements for Meeseeks in OTP 21.
Don't let this sound patronizing because it's not -- but have you looked at how many times is the boundary between the BEAM and the Rust code crossed? I haven't inspected Meeseks' code so can't talk, just wildly guessing.
My ancient experience with Java <-> C++ bridges has taught me that if your higher-level language calls the lower-level language very often then the gains of using the lower-level language almost disappear due to the high overhead of constantly serializing data back and forth.
Anyhow, we should probably take this discussion to ElixirForum and not here. :)
