[Chris Behrens <chris.behrens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess that's what I'm trying to say for this project.  My opinion would be to stick with what we know. :)

Do we have enough Erlang knowledge right now?  I would not want to see Eric get burned out because he can't get help.  I've seen it happen before when Erlang was chosen and the project ended up a complete failure.

I'd like to learn Erlang better.  But, I wouldn't to be able to help significantly any time soon... or at least not where I could contribute the quality of code that this project needs.  It feels like I've seen a lot of similar replies.
