I've done some toy Elixir things and I really like it; not enough to get hired but enough to like the shiny packaging. (It might be that shiny all the way down, I just don't have the experience to say.)

Gleam though... that looks more to my liking _syntax_ wise. Familiarity more than anything, but might try some toy stuff on it soon.

BEAM interests me immensely from a user standpoint; I'm just wondering how much time it has in the world vs. containerization and orchestration.

Haven't heard of efene yet; thanks for that. Now my Sunday's ruined =D
