TypeScript agent frameworks felt like toys. Single-threaded event loops trying to juggle concurrent agents with promises and prayer. Python agents did a little better, but after a long time they couldn’t stay up. The BEAM was built for exactly this kind of work.

Why Elixir?

Elixir is built on Erlang/BEAM/OTP, which is great for supervising long-running processes. It has an active ecosystem of tools and libraries. It also supports hot code reloading without stopping actively running subagents, which is very useful during development.
