For what it's worth, I have Community Notes access on Twitter, and the below is a currently-hidden note for the post which in the "validation gathering" phase: > The shown benchmarks use non-equivalent implementations: Elixir routes all DB queries through a single GenServer with Redis for jobs (retained from Rails), while Rust uses in-process queues, omits CSRF tags/fields, and applies other caching changes. https://x.com/zachsdaniel1/status/2106820451557073175 https://github.com/basecamp/once-campfire-elixir/blob/main/l... https://raw.githubusercontent.com/basecamp/once-campfire-eli... https://github.com/basecamp/once-campfire-rust https://github.com/basecamp/once-campfire
In I've had agents implement and optimize the Campfire web app in Elixir, Go, Rust
