Yeah, the Erlang ecosystem is so much better (for web) than everything else available today, it's not even funny.
Though it seems like there is some very major obstacle in people understanding it. It's so frustrating, I've already stopped advocating for Erlang/Elixir. Currently I'm concentrating in just reaping the benefits and doing my stuff.
Yep, I've built two very nice servers in erlang, but main problem - only I can extend and modify them in my company, my coworkers can't learn this. One made some inroads into this, but there's just too many cheap .net and java developers around for erlang to be successfull.
Upside for me - I'm irreplaceable. Downside - there's no one to help when something is wrong and company progress is throttled by my performance.
Elixir is partly fixing this problem. Though it's still not enough because the hard part is not the syntax (as most newcomers tend to blame their failure on), but the things you write with the language, which are the same for Elixir and Erlang.
