Because haskell is almost a platform for discussing and implementing FP concepts. Especially if you want type system. (Not sure how much is ML discussed these days) Erland on the other hand, is targeted on soft-real-time distributed systems. How was the quote? "Every soft-realtime highly availabe distributed system contains informally specified, incomplete and bug ridden implementation of erlang." Or something like that.
