My latest obsession has been the Julia language, which seems to borrow a number of ideas from Erlang in its distributed model. It's reasonably easy to replicate this kind of "instant-server" that magically works across multiple nodes. I don't know for sure, but I would be surprised if Julia's Distributed module wasn't at least a little inspired by Erlang.
I absolutely love Erlang, and I wish I had more of an opportunity to use it, but it's nice to see that some of its concepts are bleeding into other platforms.
