Experts are praising the new features in Erlang/OTP 29.0.

Looks like a nice set of improvements. Disabling the SSH daemon by default is a good security change, same with disabling the SFTP by default.

The way fwrite works seamlessly across nodes is very nice, and exactly what I love to see from erlang.

The addition of Native Records is also a significant improvement.
