Atoms as Symbols? #52

Open soup-in-boots opened 2 years ago

soup-in-boots commented 2 years ago

Initiating a discussion as to whether or not atoms should be treated as symbols in node's system, and vice versa. I feel this is an appropriate convention, and have been using it in my own project. I wish to use erlpack as the ETF communication provider for my epmd transport for my project (otp-js), and it would be nice to have this convention supported outright instead of shimming it.
