Erlang beauty
I started off as a designer before learning to program and I have a minor unhealthy attachment to the design and composition of functions. I've been learning Erlang recently and I have to say Erlang's pattern matching and list comprehension make it one of my favourite languages in terms of design (I should note I'm also a fan of Scheme/Clojure style which I know many people aren't).It certainly didn't appear that way when I first came across Erlang, as it's not always readable to the uninitiated (and nearly turned me off the language) but brilliant for those that are familiar with it.Elixir has also done a good job of translating it for people who like Ruby-style syntax, I prefer the flexibility of the more verbose Erlang.
