Beyond the Actor model in erlang, it's got lots of neat tid-bits, especially when you start working with OTP. You can actually have a pool of generic servers waiting to be transformed to any type of server you may happen to need at any one moment. I found that to be an odd thing at first, as it sounds like an invitation to a 'server pool manager', and all its hassles. But neat nonetheless.
