Yes, those things need to be pointed out. I don't want people to think that Erlang is a miracle productivly booster. It's not. The productivity gains are only there in certain application domains, and of course it also require good libraries to support it. But Erlang to me isn't as much about programmer productivity as it is about reliability. But when building highly reliable systems, of course it's a big productivity boost. I should point out we've abandoned xmerl (and xml altogether), and things have been much simpler since. We are in the process of moving off the inets http server to mochiweb. Hopefully that will also go smoothly.
