I agree that speed and reliability are important, and I am in awe of 
the speed of the current emulator.  But I also think that Erlang 
could better evolve, and we'd see more experimental changes to the 
language outside of Ericsson, if there was a smaller, cleaner 
implementation of the language.  As it stands, the Erlang runtime is 
pretty difficult to hack, especially without documentation.
