[erlang-questions] Recless

[Yariv Sadan]

Hi,

I created an experimental parse transform that uses type inference to
simplify record access and manipulation syntax. For example, it lets
you write this:

   NewProject = Project.owner.address.city = 'Boston'.

instead of this:

   NewProject =
       Project#project{owner =
        (Project#project.owner)#person{address =
          ((Project#project.owner)#person.address)#address{city =
            'Boston'}}}.

Recless is about 75% finished, but before I sink any more time into
it, I would like to ask the Erlang community members for their
feedback. Is this something you want? Do you see any substantial
dangers for conflict with the standard Erlang syntax?
