Erlang makes similar promises around its implementation of the actor model; however, that's also combined with immutability, a lack of shared state (processes are isolated from one another), and preemptive multitasking, and I don't know how much of that CAF is able to reproduce.

Then again, avoid != eliminate. You can avoid hitting a deer on the road, but that doesn't mean you're able to eliminate the possibility of doing so.
