In terms of Erlang, my understanding is it began life as a modified Prolog, implemented in Prolog, around '86. But by the end of the decade Joe had created JAM, Joe's Abstract Machine, with others writing a runtime in C and the libraries. Nowadays Erlang runs on BEAM, which has since been improved and heavily optimized.
