I think this is a strawman argument. Of course Haskell and Erlang have features that make them suitable for handling concurrency efficiently. But I'd take fast code in a slow language over slow code in a fast language any day. That said, the author's core conclusion is correct: "DO NOT WRITE A SERVER IN ERLANG JUST BECAUSE YOU HEARD ERLANG IS THE FASTEST AND MOST CONCURRENT LANGUAGE". EDIT: Could someone please explain the downmods? Perhaps something I said didn't come off the way I meant it.
