> performance is comparable to go. sub 100ms response times are normal Go is between 2x and 20x faster than Erlang. Erlang is a pretty slow language, it's in the same performance range as Python. Some reasons: - it's using a VM - the VM is not very well optimized ( compared to Java or C# ) - immutability has a big cost in term of performance
