Nice to see Peter is still around the Erlang space, I didn’t know he created his own language: [https://eyg.run](https://eyg.run) (couldn’t see any mention of it running on the BEAM though…).

eyg is written in gleam! but i believe it only targets javascript (both client and server), and also some mad scientist go backend for doing embedded things or something.

i think peter also wrote a generic interpreter so i suppose in a roundabout way you could run it on the BEAM by running the interpreter using gleam’s erlang target…

I always enjoy Peter’s presentations. He always has new and unique ideas which make me pause and consider how my work could be improved using them. What a guy!
