Not the OP, but it strikes me that at some level it becomes a personal preference alongside the technical benefits. Though regarding error handling and NIFs, Erlang/OTP manages high reliability not just through local OTP mechanisms, but also through the clustering. It’s a fundamental part of the OTP ethos and something that would need to be “bolted on” in Go. That and the introspection tools are pretty great!
