The Erlang VM is plenty fast for starting stuff up that is long running, but I wouldn't use if for things that you need to launch 100's of times per second. But that's also not how it is intended to be used. As for the other kind of fast: number crunching performance is not what Erlang is for. It's for long running complex applications with a lot of moving parts, redundancy and extreme reliability.

Numerical Elixir (NX)[1] is improving the number crunching situation!
