My Elixir code is surely awful since I’m new to functional programming and I understand it’s not fair to make comparison with languages I have use since ages.
Two example of Elixir code i found to perform worse than Python and Perl equivalent are these (not mine):
But my question was more generic: I think that we can assume that Elixir is not born for raw speed and that languages like Python and Perl will usually have an advantage for simple non concurrent tasks.
If it’s not the case than my question is meaningless and can safely be deleted.
