The code and steps needed to compile/bundle/start/maintain for many other languages would be far more than in erlang or other beauties.
Where are the tests? Even in erlang, unit tests are useful. Why would I trust my code?
What about security? You might not want this server to allow nasty things to happen if unintended use takes place.
So even in this particular case, I think it is worth evaluating opensource solutions, their maintenance, their license, and have a proper server in place that will be far easier to maintain and trust its robustness (security and availability)
