You are right on target. OTP should be the norm and should be learned as a first step. Later on for curiosities sake one can learn to program without it! OTP codifies many of the best practices that experts in this type of process based concurrency model use every day.

It is nice to be finished with the book and we are really proud of it. These days we are back to Erlware, resurrecting the project from a two year hibernation, and also planning for the next ErlangCamp.

Martin, one of the problems with Joe Armstrong's book and OTP is that Joe doesn't use OTP - he always rolls his own servers - bless him. I remember everyone giving him dogs abuse for it over dinner at the Erlang Users Conference 3 or 4 years ago.

I do think we need to be all GNU/Linuxy about it and just always refer to it as Erlang/OTP.
