People have described him to me as a guy who gets a thousand ideas before breakfast, and once in a while, one is really really good. What I've seen so far seems to be true. He's extremely creative, genuinely nice, and has a lot of crazy thoughts. If you give a talk about web servers or frameworks at an Erlang conference, he's the guy who'll heckle you about your poo poo being too complex and why isn't the web just a raw TCP connection with message passing protocols and calls in it anyway.

As well as being a really good public speaker, his C compiler talk is really engaging and a pretty lovely intro to writing a C compiler.

Goldman Sachs uses erlang in their high frequency trading platform.
