Broadly agree with the author's points, except for this one:

> TypeScript/Node.js: Better concurrency story thanks to the event loop, but still fundamentally single-threaded. Worker threads exist but they're heavyweight OS threads, not 2KB processes. There's no preemptive scheduling: one CPU-bound operation blocks everything.

This cannot be a real protest: 100% of the time spent in agent frameworks is spent ... waiting for the agent to respond, or waiting for a tool call to execute. Almost no time is spent in the logic of the framework itself.

Even if you use heavyweight OS threads, I just don't believe this matters.

Now, the other points about hot code swapping ... so true, painfully obvious to those of us who have used Elixir or Erlang.

For instance, OpenClaw: how much easier would "in-place updating" be if the language runtime was just designed with the ability in mind in the first place.
