I think the truth is that whenever you migrate a code base, it's trivial to get 90% of the functionality quickly, but it turns out that things you thought of as unimportant, or edge use cases, are actually not rare events at all. I agree that maintaining an internal Erlang team for one piece of code isn't smart, but I tend to think that in light of the move to broader media services (chat, video and voice streaming) perhaps it might make sense to look at the language once again. Maybe this time they'll do it in Go.
