The beauty of Erlang became apparent to me when looking at a the structure of Google&#x27;s Certificate Transparency structures.<p>There are C implementations with loops, gotos and memcpy()&#x27;s. In Erlang I could do this:<p><pre><code>    &lt;&lt;Version:8, LeafType:8, Timestamp:64, LogType:16,
        ASNLen:24, Cert&#x2F;binary&gt;&gt; = PemBin.</code></pre>
