Yes and no. Yeah Erlang has been around for 30 years but "30 year old language" makes it sound like it came out 30 years ago and then stopped. Erlang is still being very actively developed and improved, it's by no means a crusty old language.

I'm not sure what the implications are of either comment. Both Java and Javascript are reaching the 30 year old mark as well.
