A lot of Erlang's performance and robustness characteristics are enabled at both the language level and BEAM VM level (e.g., immutability, memory model, processes, supervision trees, lightweight pre-emption). Whole classes of problems like deadlocks, memory management, and GC pauses go away, enabling an ergonomic, expressive language and runtime for concurrent systems.
