As Reddit already pointed out, this is nothing novel.

“They reinvented Erlang OTP.” - Reddit

Don't know if Joe Armstrong ever said anything like it, but I would propose naming an Erlang/OTP analogue of Greenspun's tenth rule (the one about C projects containing ad-hoc, buggy implementations of Lisp) for him.

There is Virdings Rule:

Any sufficiently complicated concurrent program in another language contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Erlang.

To be fair Elixir shows you can just use the BEAM if you want. If you need these semantics at this level there's very few reasons not to go this route.

Still nice to have learning resources like this pass through HN even if it’s not novel.
