I think you might be taking my comment as implying the jvm is better than beam but that isn’t the argument I’m making. Having a strong jvm option means you can cut through a ton of corporate red tape. I don’t need to convince some skeptical CTO if the jvm is reasonable. It’s makes choosing elixir for a project feel about as hard a change as using clojure or groovy.

Yeah and not too many ctos would choose clojure or groovy either, and the ones that are, aren't oking it "because it's on the jvm".

I don’t think we’re going to reach an agreement. I believe languages running on the jvm helps give assurance to businesses. You disagree with that belief, we can leave it there.
