> As soon as it has established the principles, as soon as it proved them feasible in practice, it has made itself redundant. Features such as the memory model and lightweight processes are intrinsic to the BEAM VM and aspects of the language (such as immutability). Erlang is a mixture of no memory management, fail-fast and embarrassingly parallel without GC pauses, and getting those characteristics in another language can’t be had without fundamental and breaking changes, to the point of becoming Erlang, which seems awfully redundant.
