Don't take it seriously. Joe actually admitted, that they only called Erlang OOish because of the OO hype, but Erlang is not an OO language in any way, of course.

I would gently submit to you that Erlang is pretty close to the definition of 'Object Oriented' as given by the guy who created that phrase. The commonly held definition of OO has drifted far from that ideal over the years.

  It is. But at this point it is rather tongue-in-cheek. I certainly wouldn't want Erlang to all of the sudden be called Object Oriented.

    Agreed. That ship has sailed.
