A comment on Ask HN: What programming language would you use?.
You can use Erlang because is not only about scalability but mostly about:
reliability
soft real-time characteristics (enabled by soft real-time GC which is possible because immutability [no cycles] and share nothing and so)
performance in concurrent tasks (cheap task switch, cheap process spawn, actors model, ...)
scalability - debatable in current state , but rapidly evolving
