Ah yes, the "dark matter" argument. It's out there but nobody can see it. You'll just have to trust me.

You posted asking for evidence of erlang being a practical, widely-used programming language. The posts in response have provided a huge number of examples of erlang not just "in production" but critically so. And yet, you seem to be resignedly unimpressed; all of your follow-up posts seem to be in the form of shrugs and harrumphs. What more are you asking for?
