alt Hacker NewsNeat. I've heard good things about Erlang, though I haven't taken a proper look at it. What kind of things can you do with it? Or rather, where does it shine?

Wow. Big question.
So Nerves folks typically run Elixir on the Erlang VM. So you have the Phoenix web framework, Membrane media framework, Nx (nx_eigen) for basic inference, Emerge does well for embedded UI.
I've played around with clustering a bunch of these devices over Tailscale across my home. Opening cameras from one device and streaming to anothers display, willy-nilly. All experimental for me.
I've put Homex and Espex on them to have them integrate with Home Assistant. Feeding sensor data up or whatever I feel like.
Elixir already has a production embedded ecosystem through Nerves and web services have been the bread and butter for a long time. So you can do almost anything.
