  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Ten years without Elixir

    No separation between header and code, structs are better than records (because they bear their data labels when you inspect them, even if you send to another node that doesn't recognize them), and also since elixir requires that the tags are modules, you can use them for polymorphism (this is the best of OOP without OOP).

    Much better documentation support, better compile time infrastructure, smart metaprogramming (this package would be a PITA in erlang: https://github.com/ityonemo/zigler), opinionated but optional directory organization. Module namespaces which are trivially subdivided and aliased, easier time making anonymous GenServers. The Task module, full stop. The registry module, as well.

    Not an antipattern for nimble_parsec: https://github.com/ityonemo/zigler/blob/fe845a9fbbfef92da8ab...

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