But Erlang now has strong competition on BEAM. Sure, none of those languages will be replaced, but surely some will lose market share to up and coming languages

  Platform languages always get access to everything from the eco-system, while enjoying better tooling. External languages always have to try to fit into the platform. This is the main reason why as language geek, I always try to learn new languages and paradigms, but when it comes to production code I only use the platform languages. No FFI headaches, no lack of tooling, first party support in the SDK, no messing around with alternative build systems, no issues hiring team members and so forth.
