Thank you! So this looks interesting but it seems like there's no easy way to share numpy arrays?

The main use case for a language other than python is a more robust codebase but also performance. We need to be able to efficiently ship lots of large arrays between the languages and the Rust-Python interop supports zero copy arrays for example.

Elixir and Rust are very good friends, so to speak. Writing a library in Rust that you can use from Elixir is only slightly worse than trivially easy.

But I agree somebody has to put the work.

I've made a good career with Elixir but I still don't think it's a good fit for a hedge fund. IMO invest in Rust.

Ah, no. I'm sure that's build able in Elixir using a NIF (function built into the VM, in a similar manner to Python modules written in C) but you'd have implement it, I'm not aware of anything out of the ox.
