The main (and close to only) user of Erlang was Ericsson, and here is what the Wikipedia has to say about it [1]:
"Shortly thereafter, Erlang was banned within Ericsson Radio Systems for new products, citing a preference for non-proprietary languages. The ban caused Armstrong and others to leave Ericsson"
Not exactly a strong endorsement for Erlang.

Read the very next sentence in the article.
