if you expect to get high-performance concurrency from a JVM
i expect you to be disappointed.  the Erlang implementation
guarantees cheap processes everywhere it exists.  by contrast,
you get whatever your particular JVM gives you, which might not
be much, and it will vary from platform to platform.
if it works for you, though ...
i'd be particularly interested if you find JVMs that
offer ``massive local concurrency''.
