Erlang does have an orthodoxy, but it's transmitted via large bodies
of source and mailing list threads, or by hired consultants, rather
than by books. That makes it harder to pick up, which I'd say is the
real problem.

Update: Erlang has since got a new profiler, and a new debugger
interface. And Scott Lystig Fritchie, who presented the paper at the
Erlang conference in 2000, is still hacking Erlang.
