Elixir vs Go

Actually Task and Agent are not OTP parts, they do not even fit into the OTP supervision tree unless you do it manually. Those are more simple abstractions over spawn, not really parts of OTP I’d personally say.

Hrm, what do you mean by this? Sure, they are not part of OTP, but they are OTP compliant processes. You can put them in a supervision tree as easy (or as hard) as a GenServer. And they are definitely more than abstractions over spawn. For example, an Agent is a GenServer.
