Hello Lawrence, I can only speak from my experiences with Chicken and MPI: it was very easy to call the MPI primitives using the Chicken FFI functionality and write code for distributed point distance queries on a cluster with up to 512 MPI processes. All communication was done with vectors of 64-bit floating point numbers; I did occasionally miss the ability to use complex datatypes, but I never attempted to use the MPI datatype interface, which does not seem too difficult to work with. MPI also does not really provide for fault tolerance, so there Erlang might have the edge. So I would expect performance would be on par with Erlang but perhaps you would have less flexibility and options for error handling.
