Your question is probably more appropriate for the Erlang mailing list, but picking a language means keeping many, many things in mind:
* How important is it to write things quickly? ASM is fast, but it takes a long time to crank something out, and then good luck modifying it. * How important is efficiency in the language? * How important is it to find people skilled in the language? * How many libraries and books and tools and 'other stuff' exist for the language? * Are there particular aspects of the language that you really need? Fault tollerance, for instance, is a strong spot for Erlang. Some people really need that, others don't. * What do I already know that I can be productive in quickly? * Am I worried about language hipsters criticizing me for my choice in the future? (Avoid PHP in this case:-) Mostly it boils down to "what are you trying to do?" -- David N.
