Certainly there's nothing stopping you in particular, (expect maybe the current lack of library support for it, but that could be fixed), not that Erlang is an especially good platform for the task.
So while some people seem to claim Erlang/Elixir may have solved the problem, they shouldn't lose sight of that there are other domains than their own. But still, for a long time there has been support for message-passing systems of different kinds even in languages like C and C++ and its siblings though, just not integrated into the language.
(I love Erlang/LFE personally, but wouldn't write a 3D shooter in it)
