"Another point: tagging. I don't have to constantly check Instagram to make sure I wasn't tagged in any awkward or bad photos. That’s because you can't see them on my profile, making the whole experience seem way more private."

It's a new language which has just turned 1.0, has Ruby/Python like syntax and runs on the Erlang OTP VM (kind of like how clojure runs on the JVM). This gives you all of the amazing concurrent power which has helped the Heroku guys here.
