this is interesting! we've definitely had Elixir folks using XT before

I don't think I realised Jinterface was a thing :thinking_face: have you used it elsewhere previously?

No, haven’t used jinterface before, as I am fairly new to Erlang… I wanted to use it so I can control serialization better and can hook erlang processes into tx listeners and stream results better

I don’t really know elixir, but I’ve been meaning to try this with it as well, afaict the records are exactly the same as in erlang (tuples, with atom in 1st position denoting type)

I was wrong, elixir structs seem to be maps like

#{'__struct__' => 'Elixir.Foo',age => 27,name => <<"John">>}

Ah, potentially a good time to remind ourselves that this Erlang HTTP client exists https://github.com/naomijub/translixir - not sure if that is useful to you, but maybe 🙂

lgpl, so I won’t risk looking at it 😉

but I will look into elixir more, at some point,… it looks like I can fairly easily support the same mapping & query by candidate for elixir structs as erlang records

Why not use Clojerl? 🙃

mainly because clojure has such a different programming model than erlang (which is pattern matching everywhere)
