@ramsey Erlang is one my favorite syntaxes to read. 🫠

@shadowhand About 10+ years ago, when Erlang got popular with the hipster coders, I would do tutorials in Erlang and be like, “Oh! I get this. It’s cool!” But then I could never actually write anything in it on my own. 🤣

@ramsey that’s basically my experience with it too. The Erlang syntax has such beautiful choices when it comes to symbols, leading to almost poetic brevity. But I have only ever admired as a reader, never a writer.

@ramsey they had a nice talk about it, some Erlang conf. talk.
