I doubt it. IMO Erlang is fundamentally a different model of programming than JS and what about mutability and things such as pattern matching? It quickly becomes apparent that it would not be much like JS if it was to take advantage of all of Erlang's best bits.

Elixirscript is a thing though and it's being actively developed https://github.com/bryanjos/elixirscript

It's a good one to know about. Thanks!

Exactly, Erlang is a DSL for distributed applications. There is not much point to use it for anything else.

Erlang and related languages are applicable for most long-running applications.

The amount of people who actually use true distributed Erlang is probably small, because you get many of the benefits either way.

Const keyword for mutability and I have no idea about pattern matching. Just the js syntax would be great I guess. And special keywords to match what misses or misbehaves . Just a try. Won't be bad!
