I was thinking "Erlang has nice support for writing distributed Erlang
programs, i.e. systems which run on multiple Erlang VMs which may or
may not be on the same machine. That may or may not be useful for your
particular problem." The Erlang Book has a whole chapter about this.

I have a feeling that you were after a much more concrete answer. I
don't have one.
