Title: Erlang for Scaling: Worth the Hype or Just a Flash in the Pan?

So, I've been hearing a lot about Erlang lately and its potential for horizontal scaling in blockchain projects. From what I've gathered, it uses a concurrency model that allows for seamless distribution of tasks across multiple nodes, but I'm not convinced it's not just some fancy language for old-school distributed systems. Has anyone here actually used Erlang in a real-world project to know if it's worth the hype?
