[erlang-questions] What factors correlate with programming language popularity/adoption?

[Raoul Duke]

(even when ocaml or haskell have libraries, they are kind of a pain to
figure out and decide if they are actually trustworthy. :-{ whereas
the jdk has stuff "from sun/oracle the horse's mouth" so you have a
little more faith, even if they suck a lot at times. so ocaml did the
"batteries included" stuff to try to help.)
