All of which are tiny niche languages, except Elixir...
I actually think think BEAM gaining the ability to run WASM would be a smart development.
It would make using high performance C/C++/Rust code much easier than the NIF/Ports hassle, with much better sandboxing and scheduling control for the VM.
If they also add WASM actors on top it could expand the interest significantly.
OTP has decades of tuning and improvements that will be hard to match in other projects like this.
