[erlang-questions] Serl 0.1 Release Announcement

[Howard Yeh]

Hey, thanks for trying it out.

I completely forgot about the window line feed thing. I'll fix it.

Serl's syntax won't get any more complex. I would welcome suggestions
to make it simpler, however. At the moment, I find it at a nice
balance point between syntatic exuberance and metaprogrammability.

For the next few releases, I'd like to rewrite most of the supporting
modules in Serl, and in that process finding out more about Serl and
making the necessary improvements and hopefully weed out bad ideas.

In the future, I'd really want to try building an object system in
Erlang's spirit. With asychronous message passing and non-mutability
(!). It's kinda like Michaelangelo said about sculpturing, the object
system is already there in Erlang, I just need to chisel it out.

Erlang is super cool.
