Greetings,

It was(*) also true that the Shootout test where optimized to not suite
Erlang.

Erlang is attractive to me after several days studying, but with great performance will be more attractive and competitive to some languages such as go etc.

Most of the languages you compare to are focused more on throughput than on latency in the sense of concurrency and handling of concurrency. For certain problems, like heavy number crunching, this is *exactly* what you want.
