This is probably a HN phenomenon rather than being Erlang specific. I suspect that as HN ramped up in users, we learned all these great new technologies and now they are 'old' to the community. Thats why you dont see as many posts about nginx, node, nosql, erlang, haskell, etc. At least not nearly as much as 2,3,4 years ago. The most popular language I see now on HN is clojure, which tells me a lot about which language stuck with people.
