In truth, the team I work with tried to use Erlang to power some real-time components of the website we were building at the time but we couldn't get it to work. We kept hitting scalability walls and the problems were too opaque to diagnose.
We decided to go with something better understood by the development community at large and built a Ruby/EventMachine solution.
I'm not an Erlang pro by any stretch, so you know it's bad news when your blog posts about the language are some of the highest ranked for obvious search terms like "Erlang tutorial."
