Type-safe on the BEAM

Statically typed language on Erlang's VM with JavaScript compilation: friendly concurrency.

A statically typed language on the BEAM (Erlang's VM) with a friendly compiler and JavaScript compilation as a second target. Louis Pilfold's project reached 1.0 in 2024: excellent error messages, no null, no exceptions, concurrency inherited from Erlang OTP. Small but beloved: the approachable on-ramp to reliable concurrent programming.

Who it's for

Developers who want a friendly, statically-typed language on the Erlang VM.
