Language Driver Request for Erlang

[khari998]

TypeDB is awesome and I definitely want to be able to use it easily in Phoenix/Elixir applications.

An Erlang driver would be wonderful, for Elixir but also for Gleam, which is slowly but surely gaining popularity. Having TypeDB available for this is another big step towards being able to model data for the future. I hope you keep this in mind after the 3.0 release. I thank you very much for your work.

I second this.

For future reference: we could use NIFs for calling our base C driver library, but we'll need to write the wrappers ourselves (manually or by creating an automation, if possible).

SWIG is not supported. However, there is a crate called rustler that we could use to write these NIFs easier and faster.

It deserves further investigation.

[julienmarie]

Yes creating Rust NIFs with Rustler has become the preferred way thanks to Rust's memory safety.
If that part is done I'd gladly contribute a library on top of it with a nice DSL that would respect typedb approach while being idiomatic to Elixir.
