That’s why Elixir developers like to make NIF callouts with Rust. It’s dangerous to do anything outside of the BEAM but Rust negates all of those concerns.

Maybe not all concerns, you're still allocating memory outside of BEAM and you still need to be careful to yield control on longer-running NIFs.

Is it possible to use Ada instead of Rust?

I believe you can made a NIF with just about anything.

I wonder if there are any examples though. Would be helpful. I suppose I could just make Ada bindings.
