I came to Erlang (and HN) after this time period, but apparently there was a period during which the language appeared on the HN front page a ridiculous amount, sometime around 2010 perhaps?

With the rise of Elixir it’s been getting a fairly steady stream of mentions here.

I'm starting to see the recent interest as well, which I just wanted to complement.

I've made myself familiar with Erlang around 2011/2012? encouraged by the writing this amazing book [1]. which is still around and super amazing fast introduction IMHO. unfortunately I have never implemented anything of significance with it. maybe its time :)

This is the book I learnt Erlang with! If it didn't exist Gleam probably wouldn't either.
