People say that the Erlang (and Elixir) ecosystems are much more suited (and battle-tested) for building large-scale, fault-tolerant systems.

I actually agree with this.

I feel that Go is more suited for things like Docker, where the main requirement is being extremely stable and fast at the same time. For large codebases, it also works really well due to its "stupid" coding style.

I still haven't found the motivation to get past hello world in Go, but this description appeals to me.
