Sorry - I call an Emacs skeleton function and use identical supervisors to every other supervisor. I have never written a line of supervisor code in 8 years of Erlang coding.

The Turing complete argument implies that representation is not important. Joe Armstrong has a great line for dealing with that red herring. He asks people to write an algorithm for doing long division with Roman Numerals. Guess what the representation of a number in Arabic numerals make alogorithms easy even though Roman Numerals are 'Turing complete'...

Having run an internet bank in J2EE with a budget of over $100m dollars and then built a clustered full stack in Erlang for under 1% of that I have the data to prove that your talking mince. Please bring your comparative costs to the table.
