Okay, conceded (and Jachym made the same point)

I'll revert to my other point, which is that the '->' token in Erlang is
only found in forms outside of funs, which are expressions. No other
expression in Erlang uses the '->' token.

I'd also ask what you feel about the people who responded to this thread who
find the Erlang fun syntax awkward. I certainly find it awkward.
