Technically, you also get shared memory in Erlang--it's just table-structured rather than a block of raw bytes. I've never really come across a situation in Erlang, that calls for shared memory in other languages, that sharing an ETS table and passing messages about events on it doesn't solve more cleanly.

I think that makes sense. Shared memory is mainly a performance optimization. Erlang is not known to have C++-like speed, so if it is fast enough to do in Erlang, it probably is fast enough so that shared memory is not needed.
