Are there any languages out there that handle scale and many connections like Erlang does, but with an easier to swallow syntax?

- lmm 12y agoI've been very happy writing these things in Scala using Spray. Honestly there are plenty of event-driven I/O frameworks in many languages, and almost as many green-threading systems. The Erlang supervision system and the ability to replace code on the fly, not so much.
