Got as far as playing around with a web site that used Rustler NIFs on a Phoenix website. Why? It was just fun to figure out how to get something from the web frontend through Elixir and into some Rust numerical code.
I don't think it had much practical use and knowing me, would be ridiculous to go back and touch it again (likely). I've been thinking about doing Rust to WASM but I'm still not sure if it's just throwing a bunch of complexity at something just because. It holds my interest a lot more than just doing everything in JS, though.
C was also more enjoyable to me than other languages. Something about compiled languages just feels really nice. But, it's also great to have a REPL available right there. Like with Elixir.
