Erlang

Will AI replace Erlang developers in 2026?

The question is about Erlang .

Answer:
AI will not replace Erlang developers in 2026. Erlang powers the infrastructure of WhatsApp, RabbitMQ, and major telecommunications systems - environments where deep BEAM VM expertise, OTP pattern knowledge, and fault-tolerance engineering are non-negotiable. The Erlang developer talent pool is among the smallest and most specialised globally, commanding premium rates. AI tools have minimal impact on Erlang development given its niche, highly specialised use cases.
