It is easier to get a distributed computing runtime on existing ecosystems than rewriting the world.

I have learned Erlang, and like its Prolog inspired syntax, but that is all about it, there is hardly a place for it on the Java/.NET/C++ shops I work on.

Akka, Orleans, HPX, OpenMP have much more uptake.

Just curious about Orleans. I remember reading about it as Erlang inspired MS language. Do you happen to know about adoption in the industry?

Orleans is a .NET framework for distributed applications, no language at all.

As for industry adoption, it is used by some game studios, for example,
