@Metalgod89 Because Erlang is not a Swiss Army Knife like C/C++/Java try to be. The saying is that use the right tool for the right job. Erlang happens to rule a niche and that's why it is used. Read more about the backgrounds of Erlang before learning the language. You don't need Swedish unless you are with Swedish.

@Metalgod89 Functional programming is many industries' best kept secret, as it may radically shorten time to market.

Erlang, Haskell and other "obscure" but not necessarily functional languages like Smalltalk and OCaml are used extensively in finance, telecoms, automotive industry and so on.

C++/Java/C# are effectively the same language, Erlang/Haskell etc. are a different breed. It would be very beneficial to learn one of those.

This song is Hey Hey by Amil Byleckie Band.

I understand that erlang is a functional programming language, but if large corporations like Facebook use erlang, why is it not talked about as much as C++ Java just to name some top dogs. I am just trying to determine whether I should begin studying erlang. I have a lot of background with C++ and I am currently studying what Java has to offer.
