The erlang VM does indeed have async exceptions, and resource management figured out. Usually you can just kill an erlang process and you don't have to clean up after it's open sockets, file descriptors, etc.
It's also possible to hook the C FFI system to take full advantage of that: https://youtu.be/l848TOmI6LI https://youtu.be/l848TOmI6LI
