This is exactly the reason why we are doing a new blockchain from scratch in Erlang; also with a lispy dialect for smart contracts. æternity is a new blockchain for scalable smart contracts interfacing with real-world data via a decentralized oracle. Smart contracts are essentially pure functions here. We have also a compiler for a Lispy language. Check out our whitepaper (www.aeternity.com) and check out our Github ( github.com/aeternity/testnet ) (also check the /docs folder). Disclaimer: I am the founder of aeternity.
