Reading science fiction has given me ideas that I would have never had before. I can comfortably say that it has expanded my narrow mind. Even pulp space-opera helped here! Apart from that, taking the time to grok the architecture or top-ra

The BEAM VM executing bytecode is slower than a compiled binary. Sure, it is great when compared to Python and other interpreted languages. Not so much when you need fast processing and raw CPU performance. It also loses out to the JVM in

Seriously, there is requirement to CPU draw UI components too ? OP didn't say that and it sounds crazy anyways. Even your point-of-sale terminal units with displays have integrated GPUs. Popular Ex in 2025: Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC
