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."

My exact same thought.

I do believe that we, as software engineer, should understand how Erlang works at its core and have some sort of shared know how about the implementation of at least supervisors.

Would love to see an elaboration of this. What makes Erlang's abstraction different to others?
