Comparing to PHP Rails is an enormous success, but comparing to J2EE it still has something to catch up.

As for node, I doubt that it is a "success". For me it is just a product of Javascript "sectarian hype" along with cumbersome design decisions.)

The principles and desing decisions behind Erlang are well-researched and "robust". Details are in armstrong-thesis-2003.pdf

That's interesting. To me, J2EE is a pic failure in turns of developer enthusiasm (might be considered successful because of usage). I am yet to meet a developer who likes to code in J2EE and they would take every opportunity to jump ship to just about anything. That said, mine is a startup world and nobody I know writes new code in J2EE.
