There are a number of Erlang devs out there looking for projects - I know because I run erlanginside.com and they often send me their CVs - so not filling a position like that is for some other reason than that there are no talented devs w/experience.

I was a hiring manager at Electronic Arts for a team that exclusively used Erlang. It's very hard to find Erlang talent.

Many candidates have used Erlang in an exploratory capacity and have no real experience supporting a production Erlang application under load or troubleshooting concurrency problems in a distributed system.

That said, it was great to see a lot of passion for Erlang. I enjoy writing it, and hope the language and community continue to evolve.
