There's a usability lesson in there. If it works so well but most people can't figure it out, then it doesn't help them.

I have been knee deep in RabbitMQ code trying to solve a massive performance issue in a production system and all I was able to learn from that experience is that I hate Erlang. Trying to learn something in anger isn't a great way to do things but using a language that looks nothing like most languages in common use is a recipe for niche status and a reason for people who need the things they run to be understandable to choose a different tool.
