I used to dislike the use of different punctuation characters as they make it "difficult" to re-arrange code. I've, however, grown to love them as they are very explicit and gives the reader a good indication on what will happen next (f. ex. an alternate function clause). All in all, I pretty much love Erlang's syntax. It's the perfect mix of readability, terseness and structure; and it has that cozy nerd-air about it, the one that makes you want to sit up all night dishing out code.
