You do realise that this talk was given at an Erlang-only conference which you have to pay to attend to it (well, everyone but the speakers)? How people are so focused on language popularity will never cease to amaze me.

With my two orthogonal syntaxes, there is no transformation. "|>" doesn't need to look at its operands to be implemented. With a macro, you have a call to foo/N end up a call to foo/N+1. Also, coming from a funct

A structurally-typed record would be a frame, as defined by Richard O'Keefe in his paper [1]. Maps aren't frames. Maps fit where dict and friends do. [1] http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/staffpriv/ok/frames.pdf
