The BEAM Has Spoiled Me
Article piqued my interest, but also left me scratching my head a bit - everything mentioned is kinda vague / abstract.<p>Elixir/BEAM are "better" but better than what? Curious the author's prior language experience.<p>What's he developing with it exactly? Native apps? Web stuff? Or just learning / experimenting?<p>Didn't really understand how the Elixir / BEAM approach is different from typical threads, OS processes, or async programming models - maybe asking too much from a short post :). But still would be interesting to have some specific examples of how Elixir/BEAM is better.
