> If your company decides to pivot away from Erlang to another more accessible language, say Go, you are likely to lose them all.

I was sympathizing until that final sentence. I'm not an Erlang programmer, but from what I know about both Erlang and Go, that seems like a terrible jump to make. Of course it depends on other circumstances in this hypothetical as well, but I probably would at least take this as an opportunity to reevaluate my current working situation as well.
