For the people who don't like Erlang's syntax, there are alternatives. I've used Elixer (http://elixir-lang.org/) with some success. It has a Rubyish syntax and gets rid of a lot of the warts newcomers seem to dislike.
The language is actually the easiest part, the biggest hurdle seems to be organizing a complicated application to take advantage of OTP. Erlang is really about OTP; not the language.
