[erlang-questions] The gen server simplified (how it works)

[Ulf Wiger]

Personally, I like to use plain_fsm, so I don't have to worry about writing that boring code to handle system messages.

https://github.com/esl/plain_fsm

It doesn't force you to use the parse transformery and pseudo functions; you can e.g. use 

https://github.com/esl/plain_fsm/blob/master/doc/plain_fsm.md#handle_system_msg-4

and simply have plain_fsm as a library for those system message handlers.
