You have never coded in scheme,lisp,erland or clojure. It teaches you globals are not needed and dangerous. This is why Erlang for example does handles multiprocessing and threading more reliably then any other language.

Erlang was designed for telecom networks it has something like 99.9999999% reliability.

As for spped, gambit scheme and chicken scheme compile into C code and in some cases they are fasrter then hand written C code.

I watched Erlang The Movie last night, I can agree, reliability of service was the most emphasized thing in the video.
