Ya know, when I first this comment on library support I thought "Well kinda..." but after a couple of hours mulling it over not so much.

Erlang has a pretty good set of standard libraries, and whatever missing is relatively easy to build yourself, by comparison.

Granted, there are some very good OS Java libraries, but there's also an awful lot of drivel - one need only fire up their profiler to verify it.

I'd say you're being quite uncharitable to Erlang.
