YOUR AGENT FRAMEWORK IS JUST A BAD CLONE OF ELIXIR: CONCURRENCY LESSONS FROM TELECOM TO AI

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Modern AI agent frameworks in Python and TypeScript are similar to the Elixir/Erlang BEAM virtual machine, which solved similar concurrency and fault-recovery challenges for telecom in 1986. The BEAM's actor model has features like isolated lightweight processes, message passing, and supervision trees, well-suited for the long-lived, non-deterministic interactions of AI agents.
