There has been blog posts on Discord regarding Elixir as Backend. They’ve also extend some of their services with Go and Rust using NIFs but eventually favors Rust.

Check out their blog posts:

“Best” depends on what the project needs. As @Skysoft13 pointed out, these two technologies aren’t even used for the same things. Imagine asking a similar question about things in the physical world: “which vehicle is best, trains or cars. Which is more efficient in transportation?”

Why not use the same as them? :003:

WhatsApp is arguably the busiest, most stable chat app ever created - and they use Erlang. Elixir runs on the Erlang VM :smiley:
