It makes me sentimental to see some erlang code, truly miss writing erlang, as its probably the closest to how i think about systems. But it is so hard to justify using it when most of my problems can be solved with javascript edge workers. These days it's rare for me to even come across a backend heavy project, yet something that would fit perfect to erlang. Does anyone else fell this way or is it because of my drift in the industry? When was the last project you started and thought this is perfect to solve with erlang?

Its also got much better tooling, and a few features that don't exist in Erlang yet (Tasks - and no, tasks are not just proc_lib, they're actually special.
