I'm not sure about Erlang. I don't know this language and the protocol I designed uses binary encoding. Support of JS and python is planned, especially on the client side, but come with a performance overhead which is not very attractive when it comes to service performance.

Using a language you know is probably a good idea: better to get something up and running and worry about making it blazingly fast when you know you need to. Erlang handles binary data quite well, but if you don't know it, you don't know it.
