> Architecture Trumps Raw Performance

They're technically correct.

Good architecture would be implementing resiliency, the ability to handle faults in a single node and recover on another. Anyone with a critical project/product relying on a single node to never fail is going to fail.

"Stress tests" like these are neat, at most. Ultimately not useful in production. Maybe useful for said language designers?

only Erlang didn't crash.
