- dnautics 6y agothey're similar, but the developer ergonomics around processes are way better. It's difficult to mess up, coding in the BEAM feels like bowling with those rubber bumpers in the gutter lanes, especially around very difficult concepts like concurrency and failure domains. Go makes it easy to mess up because the abstractions are superficially simple, but it's a pretty thin layer that you punch through.
