Elixir brings so much to the BEAM ecosystem with the improved UX from the tooling and libraries. If you want a better language on the BEAM go with LFE in my opinion.

The Playdate isn't a great gameboy emulator device with its 1-bit vs 2-bit(gameboy) screen, there are so many better devices in the market that is better suited for that.

You came with your strawman that it was for its own sake, they just stated it was a profitable move and "amazing for Apple and its shareholders, which is hard to refute. OP even said "They don't need to deal with single-supplier hassles and they get much more control over what cores go into their SoC." It seems you are now arguing with your own points.

Then don't go on a tangent, when the point the parent was talking about potential savings and big oof when you get your numbers wrong then try to strawmen about points no one is arguing against. No one was arguing about vertical intergration bonuses Apple gets by their own SOC. You wanted to boil it into one dimension by dismissing the value Apple can provide with their own chip.

Oh, so we are talking about value now? Please stick to an argument after you fail to defend it. You already used your dongle argument no one asked for.

You aren't making anything clear, just straw man arguments. Apple switches architecture when it suits them, you think they switched from powerpc to intel was for differentation? Nope, it was cost and performance aka value.

doom emacs is just an emacs with a particular starting config.

It is because he thinks he is above us, who listens to the cows when you sell milk.
