I didn't hear about Erlang as much as I did since Elixir came out and showed me the power of the VM and its ecosystem. As a ruby developer it's easy to pick up Elixir and I'm learning so much more about functional programming and systems than I did ever before.
The Elixir core oddly was my first taste of an Erlang project. I'm amazed at how the ecosystem and language has expanded since 2011.
Jose Valim is a very personable person and thriving code ecosystems are built around individuals like that.
