The Erlang VM (BEAM) can be viewed as a distributed operating system, or at least the beginnings of one.

Agree, and could add, that ALL Erlang flavors (exists at least 4 independent implementations for different environments and for different targets) are distributed.

And Erlang is based on relatively new syntax from Prolog, which also have cool ideas.
