I thought elixir devs have cooled on the whole hot reload update or is this different?

Overall, it's not widely used nor pushed (blue green deployments are now very common), but it still has interesting uses.

For instance, very high availability without blue-green (using a front-end that can be hot-patched), or... musical endeavors (such as live reloading code that generates music, on the go) https://youtu.be/_VgcUatTilU?si=DDfe4FN3Nw9OzRhF&t=122
