I thought Lisp and Erlang were both infinitely more popular and better known.
Certainly not infinitely. Lisp isn't entirely functional, and while Erlang is an industrial success story, I think Haskell is seeing a wider range of application.
Well, it seems for me that Erlang is much less functional than Lisp. It's totally OO, in fact.
OO is orthogonal to functional. Erlang is pure functional, Lisp is a bastard child... Luke
