FYI I believe WhatsApp was written in Erlang (Elixir uses the BEAM VM as well), but it was rewritten in C++ after Facebook bought it.

Not true. Facebook Chat was written in Erlang and re-written in C++. This seems to confuse a lot of people. And in fact, Facebook is working on a statically typed version of Erlang.
