A few days ago, I was looking at this presentation on Erlang presented at one of Google Tech Talk. This was my first introduction to Erlang and I found it very informative.
I agree. Startups that start now and are able to come out strong after the recession would have proved their mettle and hence will be successful. Also, this is the right time to form a strong team, coz most of the good hackers are looking for something interesting to work on (less competition).
