built my startup in elixir. love it but nifs are one of the few ways you can crash the VM. I don't trust myseld to write a nif in production. no way I'd do it with AI in c. Thank god theres projects like rustler which can catch panics before it crashes the main VM.


You could always use ports, or the external port drivers.


I'd say for 90% of times you'd want this, spin it off to a microservice over grpc or rabbitmq.
