I've seen projects to compile Erlang to JS, but has anyone experimented with a JS compiler that targets Erlang's BEAM VM like Elixir?

JS is an approachable language but Node has problems with scaling and error handling of non-blocking IO. Erlang solves those problems but the language is not approachable and has a smaller ecosystem than JS. I'm imagining something like Node with "micro-workers" so developers could reuse their existing JS code, but not have to worry about scaling or non-blocking APIs.
