What do you think about integrating Rust and Elixir?

@cmkarlsson and @Qqwy:

Interesting points. There is also GitHub - sile/eetf: A Rust implementation of Erlang External Term Format · GitHub
Do either of you know of a clear tutorial of how to set this up on the elixir/mix side to automate the compilation and generation of the rust libaries?

That’s one thing I seem to think are missing in both. There was enough information in Rustler for me to extend what needed to do with Phoenix. I got ports to work last night with some experimentation, but it was a lot of manual calls to rustc and setting flags in cargo.toml. Not automatic like the Rustler integration.

I’m happy to write a tutorial myself, I just need some guidance. I’ve only been using rust for about 3 weeks now, and Elixir only a little bit off and on until very recently.
