Things I like about Gleam's Syntax
I remember reading somewhere,WA had to go back to do some improvements, so there was going to be a delay. Was it this one https://github.com/WhatsApp/erlt ?

Scheme vs CL? Differences? Pros and Cons?
However, as counter-points: Erlang has the Dialyzer, and Clojure has Spec. Both are tools to push one closure to a more statically typed coding regime. WhatsApp also created ErlIt, a statically typed dialect of Erlang. So evidently there is some desire for types, even in Erlang, by big industrial users.

Is ErlT from WhatApp dead?
I see the old Gitub project has been set to read only: https://github.com/WhatsApp/erlt

Erlang/OTP: Garbage Collector
Almost 10 years ago, i've tested erjang [1] using a medium sized application. Throughput was better than BEAM but latency was terrible.

Type-Based Optimizations in the JIT
You could, and in fact there has been Erlang implementations on top of the JVM[1][2], however you will never be able to get the same runtime characteristics of Erlang running on BEAM due to the fundamental differences in memory management: BEAM is first and foremost designed for reliability, predictability and soft real-time behaviour.
