The only places left to Python seem to be database heavy. I think that's because DB interfaces are something of a weak point in Erlang. There are efforts to address that so I expect this weakness to be shored up soon. I also think we're moving into an era where multiple languages will be used on a single project. Neal Ford does a good job of explaining "polyglot programming" here: http://memeagora.blogspot.com/2006/12/polyglot-programming.html @craig – If I’m reading Bob’s words correctly, it sounds like Erlang has taken over a lot of Python’s duties already.

I see a lot of Java and Ruby programmers struggle either with installing Erlang itself or finding and installing libraries. The former can be addressed by having more operating system vendors package Erlang (fink, macports, ubuntu, fedora, etc). The second is going to require a community-baed effort centered around CEAN or write soemthing else from scratch. I'd prefer to see CEAN expanded and improved since it already does 90% of what I think we need. @craig – I think either improving CEAN or something like it will be critical in improving Erlang’s adoption rate.

I do however wonder if Bob sees Erlang as taking over those Python duties rather than just the IO bound requests? I guess I question as to whether Erlang is well suited for small scale serial applications. Many of the examples I see of it in production now seem to be in a hybrid approach with another dynamic language to solve issues of scale. I wonder if it's just a transition phase as developers come on-line with the mental approach required, or whether there's a more telling story here? Libraries? Bob's mention of CEAN makes me wonder if improving support in that area might be critical to further mainstream adoption. Great interview, thanks guys.

It's great to hear from people who are actually using Erlang. It looks like Bob has found specific places where Erlang really excels, and is profiting quite well by applying it. I must also admit a curious enjoyment in similarity of development environments - my PowerBook G4 + emacs is serving me quite well for Erlang development.
