I'm puzzled why you would question the motivation of porting erlang to run atop the JVM.

Just because you don't like erlang syntax and would prefer to have ruby on top of BEAM, doesn't mean that others should not undertake this port.

Rather than question erjang, why not start your ruby/BEAM port?

Edit: better grammar.

I'm sorry but I really dislike Erlangs syntax more than I like it's concurrency. I'm not saying Erlangs bad just that I hate how it looks.

Maybe others don't share your opinions.

Just a thought.

Probably not, they're not based on any form of logic.
