Yup. I think it's because Elixir has powerful LISP-like meta-programming facilities that it allows the seamless communication Rustler and Zigler provide. I haven't seen anything as good as Rustler for Python despite its popularity.

And if Zig feels like it fits the gestalt of Elixir/Erlang better for you... then there's Zigler (https://hexdocs.pm/zigler/Zig.html). The fact that you can just "insert a little zig code right here" in the middle of your Elixir code in a ~Z sigil is the coolest darn thing there is. I haven't seen something that cool in the way of embedding performance enhancing fragments/snippets in another dynamic/expressive system since Klaus Gittinger's Smalltalk/X (https://live.exept.de/doc/online/english/programming/primiti...)
