There are certainly resources out there to learn Erlang. I found it difficult to find those resources, it's possible that was due to user error (me). There wasn't anything immediately obvious that was the "best" way to get started, especially without committing to buying a book that might not be what I wanted. Other languages do a much better job (IMHO) of helping you get your feet wet before committing further. If you want to learn javascript, you watch the Crockford videos. After a couple hours, you have a pretty good idea of what it's all about and if you want to spend more time learning it. Erlang didn't seem as accessible to me. That's not to say that there aren't resources available. They just aren't as immediately obvious as they could be.
