Well, "Mastery" is a standard that I think, by definition, few achieve. But competence in erlang is certainly achievable in a couple of months. In my example, I started having never once written anything in a functional language. I started

Riak is a fairly large, open source, NoSQL database, written in erlang. I've looked at its source code on occasion knowing little about its internals, and found them to be really comprehensible. Sometimes it is shocking to see how elegant
