I once gave a talk about Erlang starting with the core idea that = is an assertion of truth and building (most of) the rest of the language from that. Found it a very rewarding approach.

Is there any way for the public to see this talk or learn more about this?

Here’s the Midwest.io talk. Shame the conference didn’t last.

That's why I don't like it when languages use = for key: value pairs like TOML. There seems to be a big meaning of "=" that people forget.
