yeah, erlang is not lispy enough (what language is, anyway ;-)))<br><br>i you wanna more lispy erlang, or more erlangy lisp, look at Termite <a href="http://toute.ca/">http://toute.ca/</a> (still in early development, i think). I looked at termite whitepaper just now, and they even removed mutation from scheme. neat.
<br><br>btw, you are absolutely right about the awkwardnes of A + B + C + ... + Z multiline formatting, I stuck with the<br><br>A<br>+ B<br>+ C<br>...<br><br>variant because you don't have to check the end of the line to notice that the expression continues.
