I think it says something that erlang is still relatively successful and popular despite all that. In particular, it means it just nailed its semantic fundamentals: message-passing, functional, actor-based concurrency with supervision trees and all the OTP goodies.
I think it's no wonder that Elixir is having the success it is. It fixes literally every single issue on this page (many of which still exist in erlang), plus you get all the good stuff.
