Agreed. Not knowing the author is all the more better as the response will be not clouded by "OMG, he created Erlang :)"



At the same time, Erlang handles its problem domain like a champ. Knowing that this was written by Joe Armstrong, you can see that he might be approaching this from a different angle than others, even if he is lacking in eloquence here.
