Isn't the whole point of abstraction to not care about whats underneath unless you really have to? But ideally, you don't because the abstraction is "good enough"?
I haven't heard anyone writing code in Elixir complain about performance issues.
What’s up with the last paragraph? Nobody is complaining because the BEAM is good enough for the typical use case?
because you're not reaching for elixir when you need performance.
btw we do sometimes bitch about performance :)
But then we have ports/NIFs etc that shell out to Rust & Zig ...
