I wish there was better discovery in Erlang sources. I'd really love to see something like Mozilla DXR for Erlang code. That way I can see what's going on in more mature Erlang sources. Grep and GitHub leave much to be desired searching through Erlang code. It would also be nice to have a way to infer--without actually running the app--the supervision tree from the source and then graph it.

That'd be effectively impossible for the general case, since it's trivial to supervise/launch processes whose primary module isn't known at compile time. I definitely agree that understanding the supervision structure is both valuable and non-trivial.
