I don't think that many people take these hip Erlang projects seriously =) Sure, a lot of bloggers try out CouchDB, but who cares. These projects are usually not serious enough for money to change hands. Eg.

Or, a simple 20 line script shows that Riak is 1000x slower to SET data then a C wrapper for BerkeleyDB (Keyspace in this case, but is almost doesn't matter).
