Gleam 0.15 – Type-safe language for the Erlang VM
> I can admit I am no BEAM expert and it seems my thought offended the experts
Who knows? I didn't find the musing particularly off putting.
As Alpaca is apparently dead there's also LFE[1] and Hamler[2]. Most devs in the space stick to either Elixir or Erlang so ymmv.

Gleam 0.15 – Type-safe language for the Erlang VM
You may prefer alpaca[1] which is in the ML family and on the BEAM. Someone could target Core Erlang [2] or BEAM byte code directly and offer a pluggable frontend for different syntax, Mix would almost allow that. I think it's just a huge lift to make happen and get everything to play nicely with BEAM semantics. But that's just like my opinion.
