Using Rust with Elixir for code reuse and performance

It turned out that making the most popular Elixir Markdown processor, Earmark (originally written by Dave Thomas) and pulldown-cmark, a Rust Markdown processor, produce the same output was going to be difficult. We also required some customization that was not available in both libraries.

Even if at some point I’ll add proper WYSIWYG, Keila will definitely keep supporting Markdown. I personally find it super convenient and you get a very nice plain-text version for free. Keila uses an Elixir lib, Earmark for Markdown processing and that means we are supporting GitHub-style markdown.
