So, pure curiosity: Node is amazingly excellent at IO. Its like the one thing it does really well. Its traditionally pretty bad at computationally heavy tasks, but it still beats BEAM there. What do you use BEAM for? Is rock solid supervision really its biggest boon? And if that's the case, how does it compete with the proliferation of easy to use tech like Kubernetes that, more or less, solve the supervision problem in a simpler, easier to scale, and more abstractable way? There are parts of Elixir I really quite enjoy, but I've long felt that BEAM is holding it back as much as it benefits it, similar to how the JVM is both a boon and a "modern curse" to Java. The 90s dream of having these VMs executing platform independent bytecode seems dated in the face of infinitely customizable VMs on cloud hardware. And process supervision at the application level also seems dated in the face of modern devops HTTP-level liveness and containerization.
