Transitioning to Rust for Compiler Rewriting
The chapter explores the process of rewriting a compiler from Erlang to Rust for improved performance and compatibility, highlighting the advantages of Rust's tooling and success in the transition. It also touches on concerns about discontinued APIs, the suitability of GLEAM for writing compilers, and the financial aspect of working on business projects. The discussion extends to creating web apps, library integration challenges, the value of designing APIs for typed languages, and the opportunities for users in the GLEAM ecosystem.
