It is specifically because of the preemptive scheduling that I find it worthwhile to write code that would otherwise be better suited to a different language in Elixir.

Numerical and statistical stuff, for example, is never going to be performant--but that's okay, because I'd much rather have a whole bunch of slow actors making incremental progress safely than a couple of blazing fireballs that could take down my system using NIFs or whatever.
