I like and use Erlang full time, but I am very glad to see Elixir gain traction.<p>BEAM is really a marvel of engineering.<p>I&#x27;ve mentioned this before, but I&#x27;ve head experience engineers show disbelief at what things it can do -- lightweight processes with isolated heaps, with ability to have millions of them, isolated faults (if one crashes in anyway it won&#x27;t scribble over memory of others), very low latency garbage collection, awesome monitoring and tracing facilities, live code replacement and so on.<p>It really feels like having superpowers using it so nice to see a whole new ecosystem of languages on top of it.
