But not a type system like Haskell. I simply don't know enough about Haskell to have an opinion on how much of a good or bad thing its type system is, but it's definitely different from Erlang's. My original comment was meant to get the Haskell guys talking about what practical, real world advantages their language has.
Even if I don't see it becoming the 'next big thing', I like Erlang, in that it's extremely practical for certain types of problems.
