Rayleigh scattering is elastic (only the direction changes), whereas Raman scattering is inelastic (energy, that is color changes in addition to direction) scattering.
Not really. Erlang's VM is actually surprisingly slow, and in the era of c10k it was still using select/poll, which were getting to be bottlenecks.
What Erlang excels at is "no programming mistake ever should the whole system permanently down". As in components will reboot to recover. It's not a magic fix for anything outside of that.
