[erlang-questions] Issues with stdin on ports

[Heinz Nikolaus Gies]

I am facing the same issue as Anthony,
it is rather annoying there are more issues that are involved with Erlangs handling of the STD* pipes, i.e. missing a way to terminate a program that does not terminate on STDin close. I would not argue 'because it's not in Erlang it is not important'. I greatly enjoy that Erlang is not jumping any change to change but that argument means nothing would ever get get done :P

I find it hard to believe that all other languages with this capability are doing something utterly stupid, but Erlang, being the best language in the known universe, has gotten it utterly correct. But once again, I'll concede.
