"We'll have to respectfully agree to disagree here"

Sure thing, I have just stated my personal opinion, not looking for anyone to agree. To each their own. Everything has a price, immutability/actor included. The rest is all about the trade-offs one is willing to make

That's unequivocally true! Immutability + actor model definitely punish you with some performance losses, especially in dynamic languages like Erlang and Elixir. No two ways about it.

I am looking forward to see if the Rust community will manage to make a statically-typed BEAM-like runtime with much stronger performance characteristics. That would be amazing.
