Hi, I'm the creator of the project, as some comments say, the idea is to make it easier for people that find the erlang syntax confusing to be able to start coding with the fundamental concepts that erlang provides and by doing it making more likely to jump to erlang (or keep coding in efene if they want :). the code can be compiled to bytecode or translated to erlang to see how the code would look like, so it can be a learning exercise to jump to erlang too.

What reference would you recommend for a compiler developer targeting the Erlang VM?
I've read from various mailing lists that the technical specifications of the Erlang VM are kept internal at Ericsson as well as "in the minds" of the language's developers.

Personally, I'd love to get a hold of some documents that clearly describe the finer details of BEAM.
