"This is why goroutines, everything on the JVM, etc are not going to work."
I've used Akka very successfully on the JVM for non-trivial clustered applications where performance is important, and I'm pretty sure the existence of most of google's infrastructure says that goroutines work at least a little bit.
Do you mean not work well? They won't gain traction?
For example, Go has no means of monitoring or linking to it's goroutines; without supervision trees the Erlang model for resiliency cannot be implemented.
