The pattern matching binding (assignment) and function argument  is the 
heart, meat, and soul of Erlang.  As soon as you have fully grokked

[H | T]  =

and

f(A,B,C,D) ->
    blah, blah;
f([]) ->
    different blah, blah.

for example,  almost all the rest is syntax with a bunch of added 
library functions which make the stated goals of the project seem almost 
like child's play!  I really hope after we stress this it holds up to 
the buffeting we must give it in tests.

The only difference is that there is no cat." - Einstein
