How is Firefly going?
I’ve been reading up on Firefly and it looks very impressive. Does this mean faster CPU bound Elixir? i.e. ballpark java speeds? Or at least tighter interop with Rust would be fantastic with what they mentioned in NIF section.
I also found Hologram which I think leverages Firefly to put Elixir client side and it made me drool a little.
Stuff like this makes me very excited about the beam garden.

Hey, the creator of Hologram here. Hologram is not using Firefly under the hood - it transpiles BEAM definitions directly to JavaScript, and it has a different scope than FireFly in general, think ElixirScript + LiveView + Surface. Btw expect playable version soon!

The author explained the situation in a latest issue. To summarize, the problem of WASM support is hard, and the author does not have time.

Stack switching and threads are the next major items of focus for WASM, so maybe Firefly will become viable in the not too distant future.
