The author explains how to manage mutable data in Elixir by using the Rustler library, which allows users to write code that looks like standard Elixir functions but is actually implemented in Rust. The author mentions that while Rustler examples mainly focus on performance benefits, they are interested in exploring how to manage a mutable chunk of memory in a safe way. They provide a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this, using the Oxigraph Rust graph database library as an example. The author emphasizes the accessibility of Rustler and highlights its ability to combine the strengths of Rust and Elixir in a seamless integration.
