One advantage of Kafka is the ecosystem effect. There are many systems (Flink, Kafka Streams, Pinot, Druid, Presto, etc) that connect to Kafka. I'm not sure about the extent of Pulsar support here, although I'd love to learn more!

It's interesting that I could write your last sentence, but replacing "exceptions" with "monadic error handling." Ultimately, both are equally expressive and it's reasonable to personally prefer either. The &qu
