What about Erlang semantics?

[Byron Hale]

If I understand Erlang semantics, it must have compile time binding to be 
functional. However, the mention of Object Orientation concerns me, because 
OO programming usually has runtime binding.

Also, Erlang appears to have eager evaluation, as it has "soft" runtime 
requirements.

Will someone clarify these issues for me?

Thanks,
