BEAM is phenomenal but one area that's still preventing people from adopting it is pure raw performance.
People have to write NIFs far to often to obtain the raw perf they need and in doing so, negates all the tremendous benefits of the BEAM.
I hope more people push BEAMJIT development forward.

Maybe Facebook would fund this effort given their huge BEAM investment from WhatsApp use.

Stop development on macOS.
iOS is Apples futures.
If you haven’t gotten that memo in the 11 years of iOS existence, I’m sorry.
(And sadly, there is way less money to make selling iOS $0.99 apps)
