A comment on Scientific Computing on the Erlang VM.

A LISP-wrapper around Erlang which calls Python code which wraps C/FORTRAN code..

.. now someone needs to compile this to JavaScript!

I am just glad that I do not have to work with it. I mean, what if there is a bug? Debugging this would be a nightmare.

Sorry, but so many wrappers / so much indirection is not good design.

LFE is not a "LISP-wrapper around Erlang", it's a LISP that compiles to BEAM bytecode, just like Erlang compiles to BEAM bytecode.
