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. ...

...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. Decoding and encoding rust values into Erlang terms is as easy as a function call. Making a Rust struct encodable and decodable to Erlang or Elixir can be done with a single attribute. Enables you to safely pass a reference to a Rust struct into Erlang code. The struct will be automatically dropped when it's no longer referenced.
