Clojure for the Erlang VM

These are native instruction sets, not a VM. The parent seems to also mean runtimes, which LLVM does not provide

I think all of those have software implementations ("VMs")†, although it's true that some of them have hardware implementations as well ("native instruction sets"). Since the IBM 360, though, the distinction has been very fuzzy.

† although Intel Gen, RADEON, and the NVIDIA GPU ones might be an exception
