You need to stop reading the Erlang/BEAM propaganda from the 20th century and thinking it's still up-to-date. The BEAM ecosystem is still a viable choice today, but what you're spouting is massively out of date. BEAM is merely one viable alternative in a rich set of alternatives today.
It wasn't necessarily wrong then either. I'm not saying it was "wrong". I'm saying, you're running around giving very, very old talking points. I recognize them.
AIUI it's not clear that Erlang actually powers any telecoms systems anymore. Ericsson deprioritized it a long time ago. Fortunately it has found success in other niches.
And I will highlight one more time, this is not a criticism of Erlang. I can, but I'm not doing that now. You're rolling into a discussion about cloud provider to use while extolling the virtues of "virtual machines", or which web framework to use while waxing poetic about these "frames" things. It's not even that you're wrong necessarily, but it's not relevant.
