I'm guessing you are not considering Erlang/Elixir "first class" then. Is it because they are hosted on the BEAM? If the hosted VM part is what it comes down to you also have Pony. Haven't looked at it in quite a while but it always surprised me it didn't end up more popular.

My best guess is that a lot of people looked at its capability system and thought "wait, it's like Rust's borrow checker except even more of a hassle than the borrow checker?" and noped out. Which is unfair to Pony, but if you think of how Rust already scares some people off then that first impression of Pony might end up doing even worse.
