Erlang vs Java

Languages that run on a VM general.

Why do so many people hate Java and like Erlang?

Erlang is slooooooooow.

VMs make languages safer. C is the root of all security vulnerabilities. C needs to fucking go away.

That being said, both the JVM and Java are fucking horrible, and Erlang (the language) is somewhat decent (while the VM might be shitty).
