When you change a code after running a:start/1 there is a process instance
which executes previous code and no more. If you want update process code
while it running make loop/1 function to be exported by module a and call it
with fully qualified name:

-export([loop/1]).
loop(Tag) ->
   sleep(),
   Val = b:x(),
   io:format("Vsn1 (~p) b:x() = ~p~n",[Tag, Val]),
   a:loop(Tag).
