> Using Rust afterwards was great, plus it was faster than the BEAM. I guess, why not use Rust entirely instead of as a FFI into Elixir or other backend language?

Sure, you just need to reimplement light-weight threading with preemptive scheduling prioritizing latency over throughput, extremely robust fault tolerance with a supervision hierarchy, and runtime introspection with code hotloading capabilities. Maybe you could add frictionless distributed system support as well.

No big deal, why not right?
