  • Bun v0.8.0
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Aug 2023
    Bun is an executable as far as I understand. Would it be possible to call Bun code directly from another language with bindings?

    For example Erlang (and Elixir) has Native Implemented Functions[0] (NIF) where you can call native code directly from Erlang. Elixir has the zigler[1] project where you can call Zig code directly from Elixir.

    Maybe you can see where I'm going with this, but it would be super cool to have the ability to call Javascript code from within Elixir. Especially when it comes to code that should be called on the server and client. I'm the developer of LiveSvelte[2] where we use Node to do SSR but it's quite slow atm, and would be very cool to use Bun for something like this.

    In any case Bun is super impressive, keep it up!

  • Write Elixir NIFs in Rust

    There's also Zigler, that makes writing NIFs in Zig a breeze: https://github.com/E-xyza/zigler
  • Elixir and Rust is a good mix

    I admit for a long time this was my primary motivation to learn Rust, but, sadly, I haven't come across problems in years that were CPU bound/where I needed something like Rust... Rustler still looks like a great fit if needed, but, depending on the use case, if I were CPU bound and needed to write my own code/not just use a Rust library, I'd be as or more likely to look at using Zig and Zigler[0], for much faster learning curve, and from what I've read, easier tighter integration into elixir, including I think language server integration. Some discussion here[1] though I forget if I listened to this one or not.

  • A simple Erlang NIF in Zig
    1 project | /r/Zig | 20 Oct 2022
    Thing is, zigler failed in some way for me to build this with NixOs proj and it was fun to create this from scratch.
  • What's New in Elixir 1.13
    1 project | dev.to | 21 Dec 2021
    With this new functionality, we can expect to see some upcoming development of custom formatters for common types of embedded code. The Zigler project already has an issue open for a custom ~Z formatter, and I hope to see some development for a ~H soon.
  • Elixir v1.13 Released
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Dec 2021
    That looks great, it's a pet peeve of mine that it's difficult to format languages that are encased in another language. Most (all?) editors are only expecting a single "language" in in a file. You have a js file? Must contain only JavaScript!

    Unrelated to 1.13 but thanks to the release notes, I now know about Zigler; which looks really neat.

    Plus think of how much easier that pipe makes it for you to understand what is going on.

    Neat! You should definitely add a link to the github repo to the main page of regex.help though, because I didn't realize it was open source and I'll use it now.
