[incepted]

I was asking for the names of the experts allegedly behind Erlang.

As for listing companies that use Erlang, plenty of companies use PHP and COBOL too. This doesn't say anything about whether these languages are the most adequate for the task and whether these projects wouldn't be in a better shape if written in a different language.

[querulous]

robert virding, richard o'keefe, francisco cesarini, mike williams, joe armstrong, ulf wiger, brian troutwine, fred hebert, jose vadim, steve vinoski, serge aleynikov?

Aww shucks. Bless your heart.
