I learned Erlang at University, and haven't come across it in the real world yet. I've mostly been locked into Microsoft houses since I graduated. It's not wasted, though.

The lessons of Erlang, of what can be achieved when one shrugs off the burden of state... are extremely valuable in scalable, concurrent programming - regardless of language.
