Erlang Zeitgeist

What a difference a year or so makes. Erlang was popping up all over
at OSCON last week. Picking it up to solve some problems in a new or
revised system seems to be almost common place now.

"Delicious, in its former state, was a huge Perl application on top of
Apache and MySQL. Since then, its been completely recreated in a
tiered system with quite a bit of PHP and c++ with Erlang sprinkled
around in various places."
