Great talk, thanks, nice to see other creative uses. Great idea to add LiveView and SVGs for the keyboard UI.

"…thanks to hot reloading, which — for once — is useful…"

That seems to sum up the sentiment that hot swapping in Erlang has uses but they're generally not aligned with what Erlang is typically employed for. It seems like it would be great for tight game dev loop feedback and iteration too, for example, but that's not a traditional use of Erlang either.

Actually, I think it is much more common in original Erlang scenarios (including "non-web") where high availability is a useful pre-requisite.

It is in my experience less common in Elixir, which is often more web-oriented (although not exclusively).
