Erlang syntax indeed seems a little strange. But it's only because today we are accustomed to languages with much more usable/friendly syntax. But when Erlang was born in the 80's the usability wasn't much of a concern yet for programming language designers. Compare popular languages born in the 80's such as C++, Perl, Tcl with the languages born in the 90's such as Python, Ruby, Lua, Haskell. There is a clear pattern. Later languages are much easier to read and write. |
