That's not the point, it's much better for passing small data in high volumes. Data transformation and calculation is another thing. JVM is not excelent at big numbers but it's a bit better than Erlang so it's in between hardcore language for math and excelent IO like Erlang. That's one of the examples. Also transformating 20MB+ json to yourown stuff can be pain but with JVM stuff i do it quite easily although it's bad to do such thing anyways sometimes you have to do it. That's another example. I would love to use all technologies but that's not always possible

My point wasn't a comparison though, I was just highlighting Erlang.

I agree that we can't always choose the technology we want to use or use them all at the same time :-D

Oh, sry, I take Erlang/Elixir as the same thing I thought you were pointing stuff out to compare them but you just want to mention battle tested part. Yeah I agree it's more than battle tested. Hope I get time to learn it soon
