The BEAM is already much more performant than, for example, the Ruby reference implementation. And look at what people have managed to build with Ruby!

Erlang 19 is only 10% faster than CRuby 2.3 on a simple factorial bench. Web throughput is even closer as lots of it is C extensions.

I haven't made the comparison myself for a while but I suspect it's still very close.
