So he wants Erlang but without:

- Massive parallelism via processes

- Immutable data structures

- Highly refined GC based on immutability of data

So he wants the Erlang syntax and not the fundamental core features that make Erlang what it is.

There's also a lot of "maybe this" and "maybe that." To me, this sounds like he's still trying to justify this project to himself much less everyone else.

Well, on the technical side I can't see any advantage over BEAM. On the bright side, at least you have another alternative syntax on the JVM.
