I see stuff about writing programs that access or update your data in TFS. But they all seem to be assuming that you will be working in C# (or other .Net languages). Behind the scenes I'm sure that's all just SOAP calls, or whatever Microsoft thinks is cool right now. But is that all documented somewhere so that I can access it from other languages like, say, Erlang?

Yes, there is the TFS OData, the TFS REST API's, and TFS Java SDK.

The OData is useful for somethings, but not others, so have a look through the documentation and see if it will help you.

The REST API's are there for VSOnline, but still coming on-premise, the answer I linked to eludes to the fact you can use them on-prem.

The Java SDK is the same as the .NET one and can be used to do pretty much everything, it is what powers the Team Explorer Everywhere plugin for eclipse.
