Why Erlang/OTP Still Matters in 2025
Hi folks!  Ukrainian Erlanger is here 
!
I’d like to share my recent talk at the TADSummit Online Conference, where I was kindly invited by Alan Quayle, Founder of TADHack and TADSummit.
In this session, I covered:
- Why Erlang/OTP is still critically important in 2025
 - Its strengths and weaknesses
 - The industries where Erlang/OTP continues to shine (telecom, fintech, IoT, Voice AI)
 - Real-world examples of companies relying on Erlang today
 - The importance of our community and how we can keep it strong
 
Erlang/OTP, nearly 40 years old, still powers some of the most demanding real-time systems. Built for fault tolerance, massive concurrency, and hot code upgrades, it keeps mission-critical platforms running without downtime - from WhatsApp to fintech transaction engines.
 I’d greatly appreciate your support - upvote, share the video, and leave any comments, questions, or your own Erlang stories.
Let’s remind the world together just how important Erlang/OTP is in 2025! ![]()

I agree. Elixir seems to be very interesting to learn.
