It will run Erlang and Elixir. So anything you like or dislike about working with those languages should carry over. I find them delightful, mostly have experience with Elixir. Asynchronous and event-driven code is already a fact in the browser so working with an ecosystem that is designed for that may prove a better experience. I'm hopeful. Also, concurrency, staying of the render thread if possible. There's lots of fun to be had there.

Supervisors, Genservers etc. are OTP patterns, not specifically Erlang or Elixir language features. Lumen seems to implement OTP patterns so that's why those things work on it.

  Yeah, I'm aware of the distinction. But I honestly haven't settled on how to refer to it all as a whole. Do you have a preference?

    I didn't mean to nitpick about the definitions, I just wanted to say Erlang/Elixir would both be well usable as languages even without the OTP abstractions and tooling.

      That's a fair point :)
