[erlang-questions] OOP in Erlang

I also really like the Erlang syntax with commas and semicolons because
it is more of a logical language with the comma as an "and" and the
semicolon as an "or" (like in Prolog).  Enforcing a type of indentation
like Python, might help create more order within the source code. 
However, the Erlang language itself already contains much logical order
as a functional language.
