Good observations.

'Getting' OTP, and especially how to structure an application the right way is definitely tough, because there's not a lot out there like it if you come from the world of C or scripting languages. It's not just code organization, but thinking about how to structure all the processes so that things fail in a 'good' way, and you have everything talking in the right way.

A big thanks to Fred for his book, and the many hours he has spent helping people on the mailing list, IRC and elsewhere.

I miss my time working with Erlang. I think it's still an indicator of an environment willing to try new things, but like he writes, you have to be wary of the places that are 'serial early adopters' too; I've encountered a few of those in my Erlang career.
