Some say SmallTalk failed, because of the need to
"build a release" ... well, Erlang, with its releases,
has evidently not.

A few fly-droppings break up the "text-area" and guide the eye,
too many and ...
I already have difficulties keeping `=>` and `:=` apart,
though I do know and understand them.

I do not think it is completely subjective and would admit
