SOA: Why do not use Erlang/OTP web servers as services?

Question

After reading the Service Oriented Architecture Principles site and the respective Wikipedia article I had a thought: the Erlang/OTP platform can be considered as an SOA platfor

Answer 1

The primary reason this is not done is because you would limit yourself to the protocol of SOA. Erlang implements the protocol of IP with some added points (monitors). While you can do it, I wonder if it would be worth it.

In principle, Erlang already has all the tooling for the idea of SOA but without all the bloat of SOAP and WSDL :)
