While the performance of Erlang was not the best between the contenders, I really like the behavior of Erlang here: load makes almost no difference in latency, so while you're serving less clients, you're guarantee to be serving them well.

This is a much better behavior than having random spikes in latency, which translates to a small but significative amount of users complaining about that your application is slow. Erlang is the contrary, every user should have the same experience, nonetheless of the load of the server.
