Anybody using Erlang?  It looks interesting, and potentially really 
useful, and industrial strength with lots of good libraries, and has 
some interesting metaprogramming possibility, but I don't see any 
particularly good textbooks on it, and learning a wad of libraries from 
man pages is difficult sometimes.  On the other hand, using magic 
cookies for authentication over remote links is so 1980's, so I have to 
wonder how industrial it is outside its own niche.

I don't, but isn't Wings in Erlang?

Yep.  I'm more interested in it for its target regime, namely reliable 
distributed programming.
