Elixir/Erlang better than Go, really?

The microbenchmark result for spawning short-lived concurrent process:

# Go 1.8.0
$ go build test.go ; for k in 5 50 500 5000 50000 500000; do echo -n $k; time ./test $k > /dev/null; done

You can find the code here. In terms of performance and memory usage, it's not really, but you can argue about anything else.
