The fact that it's built on top of the V8 JavaScript engine says nothing about anything. And the statement "it doesnt' scale outside of a single machine" is just patently false. It has support for sockets, which gives it immediately the ability to scale outside of a single machine.
How do you think remote processes are communicated with/and or spawned in beam (Erlang is built on top of a virtual machine too! imagine that)?
Uh, huh--sockets.
