Exactly. And there has also been a position open at EA for Erlang to deal with the inherited tech: http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/Open-Erlang-developer-position-at-EA-td2115133.html http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/Open-Erlang-developer-po... That link is not working anymore, but that Erlang position was still open when I left EA in December. So it was unfilled for a month shy of 2 years.

There are a number of Erlang devs out there looking for projects - I know because I run erlanginside.com and they often send me their CVs - so not filling a position like that is for some other reason than that there are no talented devs w/experience.

  I was a hiring manager at Electronic Arts for a team that exclusively used Erlang. It's very hard to find Erlang talent. Many candidates have used Erlang in an exploratory capacity and have no real experience supporting a production Erlang application under load or troubleshooting concurrency problems in a distributed system. That said, it was great to see a lot of passion for Erlang. I enjoy writing it, and hope the language and community continue to evolve.
