erlang isn't a "scripting language". It's a functional programming language |
| 18 |
compiled to bytecode running in a vm as does java. It has builtin distribution |
| 19 |
and it's quite easy to write servers that scale and provide many 9s of |
| 20 |
availability. The OTP framework (erlangs stdlib) provides support for hot code |
| 21 |
loading, so you can upgrade your application with no downtime. |

erlang has hipe, which compiles erlang to native code. I don't know, if |
| 30 |
ejabberd works compiled with hipe. |
