> its actor implementation is not built upon Erlang/OTP

This seems to be the opposite of pragmatic.

The most pragmatic approach to actors when you're building a BEAM language would be to write bindings for OTP and be done with it. This sounds kind of like building a JVM language with no intention of providing interop with the JVM ecosystem—yeah, the VM is good, but the ecosystem is what we're actually there for.

If you're building a BEAM language, why would you attempt to reimplement OTP?
