#6I would think that the "Hard to find developers" takeaway was a pretty good incentive for developers to start learning erlang.

I don't get this thing about having to find developers in a particular language. I work on a lot of OCaml programs, and have used and hired developers to work on the same programs. None of them had OCaml experience before, but they just learned it as they went along (because they are intelligent programmers). I actively don't want someone who only knows one language.
Also we're using RabbitMQ (written in Erlang). At the moment there are a couple of us mostly just reading the code and fixing the odd bug -- I guess we'll want to extend it in future. You just plug away at it, read the code, read the Erlang docs. It's not that difficult.
