Yes. Erlang is built around distributed message sending and serialization. Python does not have any such things; even some libraries like Celery punt on it by having you configure different messaging mechanisms ("backends" like RabbitMQ, Redis, etc.) and different serialization mechanisms (because built-in pickle sucks for different uses in different ways). Node.js does not come with distributed message sending and serialization either.
