I recommend the talk The Soul of Erlang and Elixir by Sasa Juric.

The thing that Erlang and Elixir have different is the BEAM VM and its support of concurrent processes at the VM level. So there are some things that they can do that Akka can't. For example, the scheduler is preemptive and keeps processes alive even though there may be rogue processes pegging the CPU.
