[erlang-questions] The erlang baby and the green JVM

[Henning Diedrich]

Judging from the comments, this is going to be around forever, like 
Cedric's and Damien's rants.

So before somebody does it wrong, I added the info to Wikipedia's Erlang 
and JVM entries. At least it's official then, it was a serious omission.

And tomorrow, maybe somebody can add a "newbs read here" tag to the blog 
post, at the top, blinking and cyan.
