We are using Erlang to do some serious things, one of them is indeed part of a banking system. Erlang is a perfect language in concurrent and syntax (yes, I like its syntax), but lacks static typing (I hope new added -spec and -type attributes may be a bit helping), and, is not suitable for processing massive data (performance, memory etc). I tried parsing a 10M size XML file with xmerl, the lib for XML in OTP/Erlang, which causes terrible memory disk-swap and I can never get the parsed tree out.
