I heard the quote that some 50% of the mobile traffic is handled by erlang. Somehow the other 50% seems to be doing just fine (except the usual shitshow on the inside that sofware is everywhere all the time).

Given that you can implement OTP in any language (albeit with varying degrees of difficulty), that's not surprising.
The thing to remember is that Erlang was first used in production in like 1986. nearly forty years is more than enough time for the biggest good ideas in Erlang to percolate out into non-BEAM systems.
