Elixir - Evaluating Performance of Language
summary
Comparison claims that Elixir matches Erlang and overlang on heavy message passing while Java, Scala, Python and Ruby fail to scale. The evaluation uses the Intel MPI Benchmark with ping‑ping, ping‑pong and ring tests, runs on three machines, varies message size up to ~15,000 KB and repetitions up to 500k–1M repetitions. Results show Elixir and Erlang saturate all cores and complete tests; JVM and interpreted languages abort or stop near ~10k processes.
