Slow as hell is a very scientific measurement :) Processing speed for what workload on what hardware? You do realise there are a lot of workloads that need to be optimised for latency? If we take web dev. Phoenix based solutions are about on par with one's based on a typical Go framework like Gin and are significantly faster than something using PHP, Ruby, Node, Python based web frameworks for a real world workload.

BEAM excels at running many sequential processes at the same time, it would be very hard to match that. (And that's why for text processing I use Perl or sometimes Python, but for services that pass data back and forth through network I use Erlang.)
