fair point! I guess we can also look at the success of Golang and attribute it to similarity to C.
I remember I was able to do all the Go's online tutorial in couple of hours because it was so familiar to me.
To your point, if you want to make BEAM more accessible to broader audience, making it more C like will increase the odds of success.
Thanks for the detailed reply! I'll keep an eye on it for sure. I never liked Elixir's syntax, so maybe Gleam will be the way to go if someone like me wants to play with Phoenix.
