You may want to consider Elixir instead. It has an easier syntax and is (don't quote me on this) equivalent in function and purpose with Erlang. Plus you get lots of other goodies like LiveView (notebooks) and a good web stack (Phoenix).
I prefer Erlang because it makes the uniqueness of its paradigm clear. Tail recursion, function matching and, bang, everything is a message!
Elixir makes everything seem like Ruby code and many of those Erlang concepts are hidden away, which is also ok but also takes much away.
My aim with ErlangRED is that both are supported, there is a repository for Elixir code[1] that is included in ErlangRED - so I don't take sides, rather I would like to take advantage of both paradigms.
