IMO Erlang/Elixir is a not-terrible benchmark for how things should work in that state... Hell while not a runtime I'd argue Akka/Pekko on JVM Akka.Net on the .NET side would be able to do some good with it...[0] Similar for Go and channels (at least hypothetically...)
[0] - Of course, you can write good scaling code on JVM or CLR without these, but they at least give some decent guardrails for getting a good bit of the Erlang 'progress guaranteed' sauce.
