- Multiple external implementations can be specified for the same function, - enabling the function to work on both Erlang and JavaScript. -

-

- If a function doesn't have an implementation for the currently compiled-for - target then the compiler will return an error. -

-

- You should try to implement functions for all targets, but this isn't always - possible due to incompatibilities in how IO and concurreny works in Erlang and - JavaScript. With Erlang concurrent IO is handled transparently by the runtime, - while in JavaScript concurrent IO requires the use of promises or callbacks. - If your code uses the Erlang style it is typically not possible to implement - in JavaScript, while if callbacks are used then it won't be compatible with - most Gleam and Erlang code as it forces any code that calls the function to - also use callbacks. -

-

- Libraries that make use of concurrent IO will typically have to decide whether - they support Erlang or JavaScript, and document this in their README. -
