[erlang-questions] which one is more efficiency? ets or pattern match?

[Benoit Chesneau]

in somewhat related i studied recently the impact of each for a simple
lookup in erlang-idna. The main goal was to find the best write-once
read-only K/V data structure to embed in a beam without the cost of ets or
a gen_server:

https://github.com/benoitc/erlang-idna/issues/12

between pattern matching and maps on a string with 29915 entries maps were
faster and - not sure why - it creates a smaller beam. Maps are also faster
to compile and use less memory in the process.

anyway you should probably test the right one for your case.
