Sounds like Go adding more Erlang style features. Off the top of my head, some nice things that Erlang lacks in that department might include:

* A bit more security by default. Erlang was built for something where they presumed they were walled off from bad stuff.

* Some kind of routing mechanism, so that you could have A connected to B, and B connected to C, and the system would be able to send messages from A to C. I have no idea if this is actually a good idea, as this is not the sort of thing I use Erlang for myself. But it seems like it might be cool.

Nitpick: this is simply an independent 3rd-party package / external lib for Go developers. Not a language or runtime feature or addition.


So maybe like erlang's OTP ?
