> Post a job advert for erlang, you'll get significantly less applicants because there are fewer erlang programmers.

In general I would agree with you, but does that work everywhere? I could see how that works in some tech focused locations like Silicon Valley. But if I would try to hire Erlang developers around here I would not find a single one. Unless of course I would hire remotely and try to compete with SV company salaries.

That assumes that everyone that is worth hiring is already in SV or somewhere else with a similar salary.
