The gleam_otp project says, “There are relatively few actor abstractions provided by this library. More will be added in the future.” I’m very new to Gleam, Erlang, and OTP, what other sort of actor abstractions are out there, and how big of a deal is it that they aren’t implemented yet? Like is this a potential landmine for someone writing a web server?

We already have one of the best web servers in the BEAM ecosystem written in Gleam, so not an issue! 😁

#

Future additions may include new supervisor designs, process pools, registries, event handlers, pollers, and so on

what web server is that?

Mist

It's either the fastest or second fastest BEAM web server, we've not benchmarked in a while

is something like DynamicSupervisor and PartitionSupervisor in the wishlist?
