Virding's First Rule of Programming

After reading the blogs about how good Erlang's concurrency model is and how we just just made a super implementation of it in XXX I have been led to formulate Virding's First Rule of Programming:

Any sufficiently complicated concurrent program in another language contains
an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Erlang.

With all respect to Greenspun.
