Pretty cool. I am a fan of everything Erlang. Managing large clusters of IOT devices running Beam sounds like a good idea not just because of fault tolerance but for hot swapping code.

I am the same but for elixir, the beam is awesome & I always wonder why it still hasn't caught on with all the success stories. The actor model just makes programming feel so simple

Same, my personal theory where it excels and overachieves is where there is already really fleshed out and oversaturated developer ecosystems (and experienced developer pool) that organizations have alot of legacy software built on it. I think it will gain momentum as we see more need for distributed LLM agents and tooling pick up. (Or when people need extreme cost savings on front facing apis/endpoints that run simple operations)
