This isn't particularly convincing, as the pattern -- loosely: keep a websocket open and keep the formerly clientside app state serverside while passing events and pushing diffs -- seems to appear successfully outside of the BEAM vm. For example, blazor serverside (.net) and laravel livewire (php).

I haven't checked but I'm sure there will be a python one too

You are not convinced because you don't know the details. But I am not paid to advocate or to even try to convince. You've been informed now -- from here on it's on you as to whether to remain biased or to expand your horizons.

I've written elixir apps, also read Armstrong's thesis, etc etc. Beam is undoubtedly an excellent piece of engineering.

I don't want to engage more than that, as the horizons comment seems bizarre in the context of the thread

[pdimitar]

No need to get defensive. Your comment came across as curmudgeon-y and biased, I called you out for it, you could have agreed to disagree which I would respect. But no, you had to go out of your way to try and strike.

Well, OK. But HN is not the place for that and I refuse to engage further.
