I started learning Erlang about 10 months ago. Frankly, I like not having state and classes.

To me it sounds like you’re reinventing Scala. Try Scala, it’s not terrible, it’s way better than Java, you can do functional or imperative, the code may look very nice if you know Scala well. You have to try hard to stay functional so it sounds like a perfect fit for you. It seems you don’t get the functional programming yet. You just need more experience.

I would suggest the following: leave what you’re doing now on the side, read “Designing for scalability with Erlang/OTP” and write the examples yourself. This is how I started. It was an eye opener.
