I think Erlang compiler team is to make the main compiler produce really fast code. I would do tests if you really need hipe to provide fast code. This is in the short term.
Medium term I believe hipe should work again, I’m not apart of any team so I don’t know this is just what I’ve read.
Long term I believe the focus is having Erlang fast without something like hipe. Hipe only sometimes provided better performance.
So test and see if you have any regressions. I’m sure you can probably open a ticket if you have a major speed problem since they would probably like to know what to optimise for.
There is also Erlang Solutions if you really need to know how to tweak the vm for your specific use case.
