Elixir gives you Agent, which is what you want, but for reasons, Agent is a bad choice. What you're not seeing with the handle_* functions is all the extra stuff in there that deals with, for example, "what if the thing you want to access is unavailable?". That's not really something that for example go is able to handle so easily.
