The ,.; line endings are a PITA when you refactor. I've heard them referred to as 'ant turd tokens'. It's a minor nitpick though, I still like Erlang a lot.

lol, that's a unique description. A good linter could fix them, but they drive me crazy. I tend to shift lines around more than any other editing.
