One of the huge hurdles for me personally was Erlang's heritage of Prolog syntax. I actually gave up once, and only cleared it second time around. Now I can see certain elegance and succinctness in the syntax.

That is the only proper way to learn Erlang. Your first week or two becomes so frustrating, you just leave for a month. Then it starts to click when you come back.

Things are much easier now with line numbers in error messages though.
