Just speaking from my own impression as a newcommer, I really agree with the original author about the separator-vs.-terminator issue. The separators are a hassle for me.
Perhaps in order to make it work nicely, Erlang would need a major shake-up of its tokens and syntax, and thus the change wouldn't be worthwhile. I'm just saying that if I could design Erlang's syntax from scratch it would largely reflect the author's concerns.
