Yeah, Learn You Some Erlang gets an average of 4800 unique visitors (or 41500 page views) a month according to awstats. There are about 100 (mostly idling) users in the #erlang channel on freenode and a few hundreds on the mailing lists. There are 1,800 subscribers to r/erlang on reddit. You have 719 watchers of the Erlang/OTP project just on github. Trapexit's project tracker has a bit more than 1450 projects (http://projects.trapexit.org/web/ http://projects.trapexit.org/web/) there. Note that it's been a few versions since Ubuntu started shipping with a minimal version of Erlang to allow CouchDB to be used there, so the repository stats likely show a whole damn lot of users, so it'd be hard to count how many developers you have precisely. A few thousand developers might be a good estimate, although those would only be the vocal, active ones.
