from my experience, erlang actor model had some of the strongest queue mechanics and the most resilient systems I have deployed. As some background, I worked as a contractor for a telco and built a 6 9's system for their service monitoring using Erlang and its supervisor model. In 3 years the system has always been able to recover from errors with near 0 downtime (the 6 9s comes from production metrics).

Was there anything in particular in Erlang that you wish other frameworks or languages had, in terms of building reliable systems?

The "supervisor model".

I'll second that with the Akka Actor model. There's a lot of criticism about it, but it's nice to work with.

Impressive. Even with Erlang’s robust platform that’s no small feat.

Have you written anything about it?

Excellent resource. I’ve actually been fortunate enough to work for an Erlang company, although it passed away last year.
