You might also want to look at http://cloudi.org .  It uses an Erlang core to provide fault-tolerance to C++/C, Java, Python, Ruby, and anything else that has a CloudI API implemented for it. Erlang provides a stable distributed system development platform that provides many avenues for integration, as shown by its successes, so your complaints show your ignorance.
