I'm not sure if most distributed computing require D/C++/Rust 
level of efficiency. Erlang isn't exactly efficient or 
convenient, but people still use it… for semantic reasons.

Seems like this is an area where high level protocol verification 
would be more important than C-style coding. And since such tools 
are on the way (as static semantic analysis) it will be difficult 
to provide good library solutions for that field.
