I did look at Erlang. (Let's face it, other than Lisp, it's the only 
remotely "popular" functional language. And Erikson is behind it, so 
that's a pretty damn big vote of confidence in the soundness of the 
technology.)

But alas, it's not purely functional, and the general style just seemed 
untidy and complicated. It's just not my cup of tea...
