Rustler is a library for writing Erlang NIFs in safe Rust code. That means there should be no ways to crash the BEAM (Erlang VM). The library provides facilities for generating the boilerplate for interacting with the BEAM, handles encoding and decoding of Erlang terms, and catches rust panics before they unwind into C. The library provides functionality for both Erlang and Elixir, however Elixir is favored as of now. The code you write in a Rust NIF should never be able to crash the BEAM. ...

Gleam's powerful static type system helps find and prevent bugs at compile time, long before it reaches your users. It also serves as a productive refactoring tool, enabling programmers to confidently make large changes to unfamiliar code, quickly and with low risk. For problems, the type system can't solve (such as your server being hit by a bolt of lightning) the Erlang virtual machine provides well-tested mechanisms for gracefully handling failure. Hunting down bugs can be stressful so...

SortedSet NIF is a performant and reliable sorted set data structure for Elixir, implemented in Rust using the Rustler crate to take advantage of native performance while maintaining seamless integration with the BEAM ecosystem. It provides ordering and uniqueness guarantees, with all terms stored according to Elixir’s built-in sorting rules. Internally, it uses a vector of vectors layout rather than a single vector to minimize costly reallocations, allowing efficient bucket pointer copying instead of expensive term copying during growth. This design achieves a balance between performance and simplicity, and developers can customize bucket sizes for specific workloads, with a default of 500 offering solid performance across common scenarios. ...
