Also "the ecosystem is boring in a good way" doesnt fly when... well... strings.

  Stop that. IO List and Binaries (look at Elixir, also Cowboy and pretty much every optimized piece of Erlang code) solved this problem quite some time ago. Yeah, more syntactic sugar would be nice, but then - unlike many other languages - you can just write a parse transform and be done with it.

    Strings are not a 'solved problem' in Erlang. Also "just write a parse transform" is not really encouraged very much because it'll make your code hard to read and maintain, something which is valued in Erlang land more than some super-tricky piece of really clever coding.
