Calling other languages from Elixir
How calling other languages from Elixir works ?
Does elixir/erlang interface badly with other languages (C++/ Go / C / Java … ) ?
Does it affect the the ability to use OTP’s capabilities ?

Interfacing works very well and you have plenty of options to do so.
Its best to read the Erlang guide to InterOp.
Its different from the FFI of many other languages where you often can call C-functions more or less directly…

- Strangely enough Jinterface is only mentioned in passing in the overview of the guide.
- Recently Erlang Solutions added Pyrlang.

Here is a good article on this for Elixir + Python: https://hackernoon.com/mixing-python-with-elixir-7a2b7ac6696

There’s too a great bridge to Rust that doesn’t crash the BEAM in case of failure: GitHub - rusterlium/rustler: Safe Rust bridge for creating Erlang NIF functions · GitHub

Is anyone using Apache Thrift (https://thrift.apache.org/) for their cross-language RPC? And if so, do you like it?
