that is much better point, but erlang gives you reliable system by default and you have to try really hard to make it crash, whereas go is just regular compiled language and such programs typically crash more easily/often.
Gleam is a pretty good choice if you need type safety and you want to run on the BEAM https://gleam.run/. It still has the same performance characteristics as Erlang (which it compiles to), but at least it gives you type safety.
