Sort of. I was using Erlang in 2007, well before switching to Node/JS. Erlang/Elixir has its downsides, which is why I switched.

The entire industry has been twisting itself in knots trying to solve ops problems that Erlang/OTP solved in software long ago.

I'm trying Deno Deploy though, because it seems like an attempt to combine those benefits with the JS ecosystem. That has advantages in: Language usability, frontend/isomorphic, libraries, and serverless.

So far it feels like the future. Something like this will be, though I'm almost expecting a new language for it.

For non-Erlang people, what’s the reference?
