Took a while to find out what BEAM was. It's the run-time interpreter for Erlang.[1]

It's not in Acronym Finder. There are many hits for BEAM, but this isn't in the top 10.

Not just Erlang, but all the other languages like Elixir (powers Discord), Gleam and others.

I guess you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000 (as per XKCD).

I’ve never really looked into Erlang or other similar languages, but it’s come up often enough on HN that I know of BEAM.

To learn more about Erlang, OP needs only look back at the threads on the day HN went Erlang-mad:
