[erlang-questions] erlang sucks

[Richard A. O'Keefe]

Concerning 'if', may I remind readers that the 'cond' proposal (not  
mine)
has been around for quite a while, and except for using 'cond' rather
than 'if' as the keyword, completely answers the claimed need for an if
with user-defined functions callable in the guards.

What happens if those user defined functions exchange messages with the
rest of the world is not something I want to think about...
