🔗 Everything I was lied to about Node.js came true with Elixir

I've been a NodeJS developer for a few years now. I loved the simplicity of the language and the community around it. The fact that I could re-use libraries between my frontend and backend was magic. But as my applications grew in complexity, I started to realise much of what I was told about NodeJS was a lie.

Recently I started investigating the Elixir, Erlang, Gleam and BEAM ecosystem. I was impressed by the simplicity and power of the runtime. I realised that much of what people say about NodeJS is actually true about Elixir.
