What is BEAM?

BEAM is the VM that Erlang, which Elixir (which this project uses) runs on:

Without evaluating the merits of your statement, I find it funny you start out implying others are close-minded, but end up rather close-minded yourself.

Considering how many other solutions that are all trying to solve distributed systems issues but avoiding just using Erlang or Elixir I think the statement has merit.

Is this going to be a thing now where someone releases a doubled version every week? I would like that.

I’d like to see it go exponential: “one million websites of one million checkboxes”

Perhaps every checkbox in the toplevel site spawns a new, million-checkbox page? :)
