Note furthermore that erlang processes are more
general than ordinary objects: the response to a
message can change by using gen_fsm or multiple
receives inside a single process. In a class, you have
one set of method implementations per method name. In
a process, the response depends on which receive you
(or which state) you are in.

The closest correspondence to this in OO, that I know
of, is "predicate classes".

Best,
Thomas
