I'm already writing some programs in Erlang(also no real work done). I'm already familiar with most of it and also read Joe Amstrong's book :) It is really strange but in a good way :) Combining ideas of different programming languages. It is fun to write in it. But still I don't have any real application for it, this is why I asked if anyone has done any real work with it.
