They're not really comparable things. One is a bytecode VM (BEAM) and the other is a bunch of compilation infrastructure. As well, BEAM is optimized for heavy network-oriented concurrency and only incidentally is not-slow on a CPU. If you run a CPU-only race with a BEAM targeting language (Erlang, Elixir, LFE etc etc) you're going to be disappointed.

Thank you for the compare/contrast!
