Back to the Future
summary
Erlang/OTP on the BEAM is presented as a 30‑year‑old stack that already solves modern problems: hundreds of thousands of lightweight processes handling tens of thousands of simultaneous calls, built‑in distribution, fault‑tolerance and hot code reloading for live upgrades. The ecosystem runs multiple languages (Erlang, Elixir, LFE, Joxa) on the VM, interoperates across nodes and even via a JVM port (Jang), and is claimed to work reliably in production for these scale and latency requirements.
