I don't know how to explain it to you if you think you get it already but you don't. Please come into the discussion with an open mind.
Making sure every library you use won't ever block a core is not trivial. If it's a feature of the platform, then it becomes trivial. On Erlang it's a feature of the platform, in c++ it is not.
