Fair point. Big frameworks and dogma go hand in hand, and I suppose Erlang without OTP is at least as practical as any other language. I wonder though if Erlang might have been a footnote in programming history if it weren't for the mindshare that OTP generated. "Simple functional language" is attractive, but "simple functional language with world-class platform" turned out to be a game-changer. |

It absolutely would be. There's plenty of "simple FP languages" out there. OTP is very definitely the main selling point of Erlang, and nowadays of Elixir as well.
