I mean that's pretty neat, but I'm reminded of that time a MongoDB user found an SQL-based database and wrote a lengthy article about all of the revolutionary features. Feels the same every time a Javascript dev discovers a programming language with actual typing.

Seems cool, but also.. normal? That's how languages should all work?

I didn't check this out but I thought BEAM was Erlang?

BEAM is the VM that Erlang runs on. It also supports Elixir and some other lesser known languages
