Let's discuss actix in general, and if we can bring it to Elixir as a NIF?

I’m working with Actix some now, and I honestly don’t see the usefulness of integrating it with Elixir. What would be the point of having a cooperative scheduler running inside the BEAM’s scheduler???

Now, coding performance-sensitive bits in Rust makes sense. Maybe even using async I/O & futures to help structure potentially long-running calls.
