BTW this is the author of Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good

http://learnyousomeerlang.com/

I just wanted to say that both this write-up and in the whole book you can see passion, and excitement for the topic. They say cliches like "work of love" but if anything that defines it I think.

It is the little humorous bits, the additional "Don't Drink Too Much Koolaid" parts, the visuals. It is a fantastic resource.

I think this post is a partially the response to "Why Cool Kids Don't Use Erlang" topic we discussed recently. There was a lot of "Too hard to get started" and I think Fred took the initiative and did something about it. That is great. Thank you Fred!
