Erlang the language borrows a lot from Prolog, and no, I don't think it's the nicest thing out there. I basically agree with you, and in fact, don't think that it will become the next big thing:

However, it does what it does very well, and is worth considering for high performance, concurrent network programming if you're the adventurous type and don't mind learning something new. Long term, my bet is on some other language to grab the good bits of Erlang and do a 'good enough' implementation.
