A comment on What's all this fuss about Erlang? (2007). Parent comment
If you recall the famous Wide Finder benchmark for parallel programming by Tim Bray, back in 2007 as well [1], those were essentially the results.
Languages like Erlang or JoCaml (Ocaml plus joint calculus), whose models are inherently parallel yield simple and fast solutions.
Other languages too, but they require a lot of expert optimization and ugly code.
