As someone already mentioned, -1 on Erlang-> (Go or Scala)

They didn't try to improve they removed features such as error handling, distribution, all which are very important for building fault tolerant system.

Paradoxically perhaps, I see it inverted:

(Go + Scala) -> Erlang

Temporal sequencing doesn't necessarily imply strict improvement.




I was referring to how Scala copied the actor model (though it is was not invented for Erlang either) and several other Erlang-ideas while adding new features and running on the JVM. In some direction similar with Go; You're right though, it wasn't the best of comparisons.
