CPU bound loads won't benefit from Elixir.

If most of what you're doing is a little minimal data transformation, but otherwise shuffling data to different network locations, and you want consistent latency/throughput, Elixir is a dream. If you're doing some tight number crunching, then not so much.

Exactly. Who in sv is actually doing tight number crunching all the time? I think most of what we do is shuffling data around. If you need it, you can always also just orchestrate a container with a computational task anyways. And then someone's gotta marshal the data and metadata to that container... Might as well be something dreamy.
