Erlang Queue for Elixir

EQueue

Description

An Elixir wrapper around the Erlang optimized queue that supports the FIFO, first-in first-out, pattern. This is useful is when you can't predict when an item needs to be taken or added to the queue. Use this instead of using ++ or double reversing lists to add items to the "back" of a queue.

This is the results of pushing 100k elements onto a list and poping every 13th element off of it ( over 100x faster! )

# mix run test/performance.exs

IO.puts "#{inspect :timer.tc(EQueue.Performance, :test_queue, [[]])}"
#> {21163189, :ok}

IO.puts "#{inspect :timer.tc(EQueue.Performance, :test_queue, [EQueue.new])}"
#> {189986, :ok}

Installation

1. Add e_queue to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
