The discussion related to the "Maps vs Frames" proposal is fascinating and enlightening, for those with the time to read the (currently 70 posts-long) discussion.
Maps are being presented as a generalized datatype that can serve as a replacement for many of Erlang's container types (Records, Dicts, Prop lists).
Personally, I'm very excited to play around with them with the R17 release.
