This is what I like about it: my junior had an ask from management to profile a customer task, as a single process, and as a concurrent job to simulate more than one simultaneous client. I'm nonzero suspicious it was asked to try to get him to trip up and have an excuse to can him. I instructed him to do the job in elixir. He got it done, then I wrapped it in task.async one-line, and it just worked and he understood what was going on, and was able to generalize the concurrency rules.

The elixir standard library is just full of things that make your concurrent programming seamless, easy, and bulletproof, even for a junior that's never done things that way.

I can't imagine him getting this correct with python async, JavaScript promises and callbacks, or having to create go channels.
