Susan has worked with Erlang devs and reports a different problem; too
few of them even speak English.  Knowledge transfer in either
direction across that gap would pretty difficult.

I think this takes Erlang out of serious contention.  Which is annoying,
because it means I can't justify taking the time to learn it, and I had
been rather looking forward to that.
