I don't know of any. People are really just selecting for the underlying runtime. And Elixir and Gleam are better targets here.

Well, I’m doing a new erlang project at a large financial institution; there are a certain class of problems that are best solved by it. I don’t think elixir is a better target; erlang is overall a better language, once you get over the initial syntax.

Mostly our crud services or apis are better served by java or go tho.

What are the big benefits of the runtime (BEAM) that are drawing people?

The same as ever: lightweight processes with isolated heaps and per-process garbage collection, and the native message passing style.
