It's a measure of time travelling through monads.

If it's Bill Nye, then I guess the idea was Smalltalk was a big research 
project from PARC, so a scientific experiment in that sense?

Yep. Assimilation rules!

With the added fun of lazy evaluation and pure functional languages standign 
in for time travel.

Yes!  Actually, I got hired over the summer one year to try to duplicate the

It's not that erlang is munchkins, but the lollipop guild in particular. 
I.e., the chorus-line of munchkins.

Ah yes... Should have looked more closely. :-)

For some reason, I have trouble getting my head around Erlang. I use Wings 
3D a lot, and I've got a wishlist of about 20 or so features for it. From 
time to time, I think, "Well, just get the source code and write 'em!" Then, 
I get the language specs, look at the code, and my brain says, "No, go do 
something else. I'm not doing this right now." Ah well... someday, perhaps.

That was actually my first programming experience, in high school. We had a 
terminal in our school (as did four other schools) hooked to an IBM 
something or other at the school admin office downtown. If you had your math 
homework done in time, you could get on the computer and run a program (the 
Baccarat game was popular). I was the sort of geek who always worked ahead, 
so I got on the computer a lot. One day, I complained that the game was 
"stupid" and "broke" (I was also a very obnoxious kid; I'm sure I've 
outgrown that...). The teacher went to the filing cabinet, dropped the 
Coursewriter manuals onto the desk in front of me, and said, "So... fix it." 
That was in about 1976, and I don't think I've gone a day without coding 
something or other since. :-D
