My claim is that Erlang/OTP is a cluster OS, not a language. It supports two languages: Erlang and Elixir.

The idea that Erlang/OTP is an OS is something promoted by Garrett Smith in this talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZGHzI9F5YE), and the idea that it is intentionally OS-like has been promoted by the Robert Virding and Joe Armstrong (https://twitter.com/rvirding/status/386612140242915328)

And two different lisps:

* Lisp Flavored Erlang (http://lfe.io/) * Joxa (http://joxa.org/)

It's also kinda like a Smalltalk image, too, given that a program can be seen like a paused virtual machine image.
