Port vs NIFs #33

Closed mikowitz closed 2 years ago

mikowitz commented 2 years ago

Would this be any cleaner? Just have a loop running and keep returning a reference? This might actually add complexity, since we don't expect anything to be particularly long running.

Porcelain would help with this on the Elixir side

I'm not convinced this is the right approach, but leaving the ticket here for now as a reminder

Nah, I think the NIF version is cleaner.
