Sure but I'm talking about on-boarding and generating developer interest. Appeal to junior developers and hobbyists is critical for large scale adoption. And like it or not a hobbyist's barriers to entry are different than a senior software engineer's.

Hmm, I have personally trained Erlang to half a dozen juniors and interns. Any person who knows basics of programming can pick it up and write/fix mundane business code in less than a month. And I am a horrible teacher.
