Dataframes in Elixir Backed by Rust

In plain words

Dataframes in Elixir Backed by Rust is a development tool that brings dataframe functionality to the Elixir programming language by leveraging Rust for performance. It allows Elixir developers to perform data manipulation and analysis tasks with the speed benefits of compiled Rust code. The tool is designed for developers working with data processing in Elixir who need efficient handling of tabular data structures.

  HelixDB – Open-source vector-graph database for AI applications (Rust)2025 · github.com · ▲237

  Hey HN, we want to share HelixDB (https://github.com/HelixDB/helix-db/), a project a college friend and I are working on. It’s a new database that natively intertwines graph and vector types, without sacrificing performance. It’s written in Rust and our initial focus is on supporting RAG. Here’s a video runthrough: https://screen.studio/share/szgQu3yq. Why a hybrid? Vector databases are useful for similarity queries, while graph databases are useful for relationship queries. Each stores data in a way that’s best for its main type of query (e.g.…

  Denormalized – Embeddable Stream Processing in Rust and DataFusion2024 · github.com · ▲125

  tl;dr we built an embeddable stream processing engine in Rust using apache DataFusion, check us out at https://github.com/probably-nothing-labs/denormalized Hey HN, We’d like to showcase a very early version of our embeddable stream processing engine called Denormalized. The rise of DuckDB has abundantly made it clear that even for many workloads of Terabyte scale, a single node system outshines the distributed query engines of previous generation such as Spark, Snowflake etc in terms of both performance and cost. Now a lot of workloads DuckDB is used for were normally…

  Dux, distributed DuckDB-backed dataframes on the BeamMar 2026 · github.com · ▲7

  Hey all! I wrote Explorer[1] a good few years ago now with the dream of fast dataframes with a dplyr-like API in a really powerful, ergonomic language (Elixir). It's proved pretty successful. Explorer is used in production at my company, and it's my go-to for quick data analysis. But maintaining it became a true albatross. Polars is an amazing project, but the development process is fast and a lot is very focused on the Python lib. We found that trying to maintain Explorer against Polars was a maintenance nightmare and eventually hit points where we had to give up features and found it…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
