What is the use case for #elixir / #erlang I have been reading more into functional programming languages, and one that pops up a lot is Elixir.
As far as I understand, the great thing about these is that they run on the Erlang BEAM VM, which seems to be very suitable to distributed computations right? Does this mean that the BEAM VM could run on multiple machines? If I understand correctly, Elixir/Erlang would not be that great if I just want to write simple CLI tools, but would excel if I was writing for example a Data streaming platform or the backend for some app right?
