Latency vs throughput.

If you just want to do 1+1, 1 million times in a sequence, then erlang will likely be one of the last to complete the challenge.

If you want to do 1 million 1+1 in parallel, then erlang will get you there with minimal overhead, even if each number crunched will take longer then java, golang etc... the way it branches out is very efficient
