At the time you were better be object oriented to succeed in the sponsoring company (Ericsson). And that probably remains true.

Chapter 17 Object-Oriented Programming
17.1 Basic Concepts
17.2 Mapping to Erlang
17.3 An Object-Oriented Interface
17.4 Object-Oriented Programming
17.5 Object-Oriented Design

Another interesting language is Oz, which allows cells which give state mutation. Classes are still implemented using lexically scoped functions, but the syntax is quite nice.
