Yeah I know processes are not dying (overpopulation? :D )

Welcome to the fun - your first program is definitely more sophisticated

Thanks Steve for the kind words.


My problem is that Ive modelled this problem after haskell, where the
solution is a one-liner:
   sieve (p:xs) = p : sieve [x | x<- xs, x `mod` p /= 0]

And a control-C solves the 'inifinity' problem
My attempts at 'finitizing' the erlang are evidently not so successful :D
Any tips?

[About me: Ive spent 2 1/2 decades doing and teaching functional
programming. Never touched concurrency]
