I have heard that string operations (and I thus suspect JSON parsing too) is slower on Erlang. Maybe it is not included as it was not built for raw speed but rather stability, hotswapping code etc?

String equivalents in Erlang are binaries quite often. There are also iolists, those are pretty efficient.

This blog post describes this in a lot more depth:

Erlang was included in round 6 of the benchmark.
