> Erlang has some bad rep for "weird syntax", but it's completely unfounded, the syntax is actually quite simple and clean.
Anything that isn't Algol-flavored and either procedural or class-based OOP tends to be seen as weird syntax, and much more so if it ticks both boxes.
It's not as much a matter of simple and clean as familiar in a world where almost everything people will be exposed to first tends to come from a narrow design space.
