Welcome to Elixir. A concurrency story baked into its architecture, Rustler for trivial Rust bindings, a full set of project tooling (package management, deployment handling, etc). And a killer combo of database bindings in the form of Ecto and a best-in-class web framework from Phoenix.
And it's got an unusually broad base of existing libraries for how young it is, both because writing bindings is really easy, and because you can import Erlang libraries which have been around since the 80's.
