The issue I found myself in is that I agree with you, that Elixirs Actor paradigm is completely different and not comparable to other languages, but at the end of the day, very very very few applications and apps that startups work on need that. Most apps now are trending towards serverless. And most of the world gets by without the “operating system in an operating system” approach of BEAM.

Rust can be massively concurrent without Actors and GenServers.

So while the Actor model / let it fail approach changed the way I think, at the end of the day I found the traditional paradigms to actually be faster and cleaner to the real world applications that made me money.
