> Erlang still performed noticeably worse than other languages I think you need to define worse here...unpredictable spikes in latency will give you plenty of headaches when trying to guess how much hardware you should throw at a service. Erlang's consistent latency here is what I would choose above everything that benchmark shows for almost every problem I've ever solved. Going fast at all costs is not a desirable trait for my software and I suspect it isn't for most peoples software. I want predictable behavior that operates gracefully under extreme circumstances.
