Does F# compile to distributed Erlang?

Not practically.

There are some one-person attempts at compilers from F#/OCaml to BEAM, but they haven’t seen an update for some years.

Caramel is a very similar language (ML dialect) that builds for BEAM.

No updates on GitHub since Aug 2022. Isn't it abandoned?

Supported and battle-tested OCaml or StandardML for BEAM would be great, of course. I'm waiting for something like this for years.
