So much this. I don't see myself deploying anything big in Erlang anytime soon but learning it (and building one or two small projects) gave me intuition about message passing concurrency. This knowledge transferred very nicely to Android programming with Kotlin coroutines. My colleague was astounded learning how easy it is to model concurrency with actors and channels and how much of it just works.
