Great coincidence since I wanted to attract attention of HN crowd earlier today to another BEAM language: Lisp Flavored Erlang (LFE)
"[LFE] is the oldest sibling of the many BEAM languages that have been released since its inception (e.g., Elixir, Joxa, Luerl, Erlog, Haskerl, Clojerl, Hamler, etc.)"
I find this little example really cool:

I've drank the Lisp kool-aid when I had to learn Clojure, but LFE is so much more powerful for building highly concurrent and distributed systems due to it being based on BEAM and having zero interop overhead with Erlang, while being a feature-complete Lisp.
