Although it's funny and refreshing seeing a comment from like that from Mr. "Advanced CORBA Programming with C++" Vinoski after all these years, there are plenty of good systems built around RPC primitives. It just took them a long time to work out their failure modes because they couldn't reason about them the way they could in an Erlang system.
"OTP should re-branded as "OTP on rails" it's really just a framework for building fault tolerant systems." nice !

Haha, you're probably right. I wasn't thinking of how to best be a karma whore, but that would have gotten more interest. It was just an interesting article.
Here is a reply from Steve Vinoski:

Not only that, there is a long and interesting comment from Joe Armstrong as well.
Great post. Cliff Click, Jr. should read this right away and think some more about this "new paradigm".
