[erlang-questions] What is wrong with this list?

[Lone Wolf]

Hi.
I have been trying this statement:
2> [java | python] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
But I got the following error:
=ERROR REPORT==== 4-Sep-2007::17:45:07 ===
Error in process <0.33.0> with exit value: {{badmatch,[1,2,3,4,5,6]},[{erl_eval,
expr,3}]}
Why?
How to read Erlang errors? they are really obfuscated.
Thank.
