For my company, I can say we use a custom built streaming server written in
Erlang. If Erlang did not exist, we would not have the slightest chance in
hell of succeeding. Because we would be just another company offering
solutions built on top of technology everyone else is using and is limited
by, in a very crowded market.
I see no other technology in existance that comes close to offering the
speed of development and flexibility of Erlang. It fits our problem domain
like a glove.
