    FYI, erlang && elixir workloads can run on Nanos: https://github.com/nanovms/ops-examples/tree/master/elixir .

    I do understand what you are asking for though. There used to be an older project called erlang-on-xen: https://github.com/cloudozer/ling .

    It'd be great to see this idea revisited although you'll need to create some sort of new handling/framework.

    No, it was not Jitsu. Jitsu is based on MiragOS/OCaml, Erlang-on-Xen was also a Xen-based unikernel like MirageOS but was (as you can guess) Erlang specific. I think you can now find it at https://github.com/cloudozer/ling .
