Before finding Clojure I dabbled in Erlang. In the end I found the "share nothing" model to be too limiting. Sure its great for highly fault-tolerant systems. But the fact is I just don't need that most of the time. It's just easier to setup a AWS autoscaling cluster of web servers running Clojure and be done with it.
Oh yeah, and Clojure beats the pants off Erlang when it comes to performance. Even Erjang is faster than stock Erlang.
