[erlang-questions] escript and define

[Bengt Kleberg]

greetings,

could you live with a function? like this:

#!/usr/bin/env escript

foo() -> "hello world".

main(_) ->io:fwrite("~s", [foo()]).


note, this does not work if you want something that can be pattern matched.

    solely in a computer program then the subject matter is not
    patentable in whatever manner it may be presented in the claims."
