It’s the same question I had, especially after my benchmarks. Jiffy has such a massive performance boost here that it just makes sense to use it. And it’s not like it’s an unknown library, it’s been established for a while as THE library in Erlang.
For my own uses I simply wrote a little Elixir wrapper around Jiffy so that I can make it look more Elixir-y, and still use Jiffy. It makes it a little easier to use Jiffy, which at the end of the day really isn’t that difficult.
