That this post has > 100 replies (good or bad) heartens me. I would be happy to see more from erl or exrl. Both are phenomenal achievements. I'm only saddened that erl doesn't move faster to modernize its obvious, and easily rectified shortcomings (modern strings anyone?). Adding hashes to erl is a good start, and joeerl seems very open to more. There is certainly more to come in both camps, and that's good for everyone.
