What’s the point of learning Erlang when I already know {your language here}?

Would you like some cheese with that whine?
I’m going to show you a few ways Erlang excels, with a special focus on concurrent applications. I’ll even include some benchmarks to prove it. So sit down, be quiet, and give Erlang a chance!
