This is a small change, and certainly something several other languages already have it, but I'm really excited about it. It would have been really handy in my last Erlang project...

It's nice seeing a mature language and ecosystem focusing on filing down the remaining rough edges and quality of life improvements.

Cool, they've added support for long message queue monitoring: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/7651
Another great release!

Looking forward to seeing benchmarks of the new JIT optimizations.
