If Cloud Haskell is going to reference "Erlang-style concurrent and distributed programming" and the Open Telecom Platform (OTP), I think it's warranted on the site to also see a comparison of what, if any, differences there are between the two in philosophy or differences in the Cloud Haskell's interpretation of those two things. Will some features be prioritized over others?

Cloud Haskell has seen a lot of work by a lot of folks, but it's important to remind folks that it's not meant to serve every possible workload, nor is it necessarily the ultimate design for distributed compute in Haskell. It's good for some things, but not everything.

What advantages it bring over Erlang/Elixir OTP ? Other than get to use Haskell...

The obvious advantage is typed channels. http://haskell-distributed.github.io/documentation.html#type...

You can typecheck your had hoc Erlang protocols using Concuerror and Dialyzer

Haskell's types are used for a lot more than type-checking.
