I think the blog post is guilty of the same thing we're all sometimes guilty of when discussing something we like, but few other people seem to appreciate. It's this "no, it's great, you just don't understand it" mentality. We get it, they don't, and if we explain the genius of it one more time, the world is going to see the light.
Erlang has been around for a looong time (it's about as old as C++). It never rose to any real prominence, nor has it dominated any well-defined niche. Sometimes, outcomes like that are just a matter of bad timing. But sometimes, people just try your thing, don't like it, and the best response isn't "actually, you just don't get it" - it's to learn and iterate.
