I tried that, but the Rust build process was too painful, and agents seemed to burn a lot of tokens guessing how to get the code to compile. I rewrote my project in Elixir and it’s been going much more smoothly

Elixir is great, and I have recently started using it myself, but its not a substitute for Rust. Try writing device driver in Elixir, or anything CPU intensive.
I’m building a heavily parallel dataflow system. I thought Rust might be good for concurrency.
GP said nothing of what they were building. Seems pretty probable it was a web service/application rather than a device driver.
That is my point. It might be better for some use cases, but those are very different from the ones Rust is best.
You mean your LLMs had an easier time with Elixir. Do you actually know either of the two yourself?
what’s the difference
