Exactly, what's the reason behind moving from Ruby API (I think it's in Ruby?) to Erlang API?
Is Chef itself rebuilt as well?

Chef 11 is planned to ship in a couple of months, and is pretty far along.

The Chef 11 API Server is written in erlang. Check out the initial
blog post for the "erchef" project here:

The big feature here is scalability, as a lot of this work was driven
by our internal work scaling Opscode Hosted Chef.

The best way to get familiar with it now is to test it in a sandbox.
More documentation will come along with the release.
