As a security engineer I am obsessed with building computer systems that are reliable and fault-tolerant. I was researching Erlang and Elixir to build servers that are designed that way. But others here mentioned Perl is used in production ready projects where availability of the system is key -- such as Amazon.

What are the pros and cons in using Perl to deploy production ready servers vs Erlang, Elixir, Golang, C++ and other common back end languages / frameworks?
