My impression is that the instruction set is somewhat
similar, but the actual engine is far less subtle than
a WAM: BEAM has no unification, and no deep
backtracking.

A fairly easy way to understand BEAM basics is to
compile some programs as "erlc -S foo.erl" and read
the listings in foo.S.

Best,
Thomas
