While I appreciate this is cool project, and I enjoy writing Erlang & Elixir. What benefit is there to being able to run BEAM/OTP in the browser?

- jake_morrison 3y agoI have been thinking about using the Erlang concurrency and messaging model for brower-based applications. UI components operate in separate threads and communicate with the back end by sending and receiving async messages. Back-end components communicate with servers using async messages, then publish results to front-end components. This is similar to what Joe Armstrong was working on for X-Windows GUIs: https://erlang.org/workshop/2004/ex11.pdf https://erlang.org/workshop/2004/ex11.pdf
