>there is likely no better language than erlang [at distributed systems and concurrency]I mean, Erlang is a commercial language designed predominantly for that purpose. I should hope, and said that, it's good at it. But thread wasn't about career paths or a specific type of programming. Haskell is better at some things than Erlang and vice-versa. I would still say Haskell is the better "teaching" language for learning functional techniques. Erlang for hardcore concurrency and distributed systems, though even only if the person already knows programming.
