[erlang-questions] Small Erlang VM

[Edwin Fine]

I understand why you would want to use Erlang, but instead of writing an
entire interpreter with all the complexity that entails, would you consider
using another language that is very good in extremely resource-restricted
environments? FORTH comes to mind. If you just want to Get Things Done, that
is; if you are constrained to use Erlang, that's a different matter.

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate,
contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and
unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the
discomfort of thought.
