Codec-beam – Generate Erlang VM byte code from Haskell

In plain words

Codec-beam is a development tool that enables Haskell programmers to generate Erlang VM byte code directly from Haskell code. It bridges the two languages by allowing developers to write in Haskell while compiling to the Erlang virtual machine, making it useful for those who want to leverage Haskell's type system and functional programming features within the Erlang ecosystem. The tool targets developers working with distributed systems or Erlang-based applications who prefer Haskell's syntax and capabilities.

  Compile Erlang to WASM and run as HTTP/incoming-handler2024 · github.com · ▲32

  Hello! This is the most useless thing I did in quite some time, but it was fun. Compile erlang (actually BEAM) to wasm, statically link with a small http wrapper and run as a request handler under wasmtime. This is not very practical as of now and you better just compile atomvm and statically link it with erlang payload if you really need to run erlang on the edge node (you don't). When (if) typed continuations become a thing, this should also allow for erlang actor model.

  QuickBEAM – run JavaScript as supervised Erlang/OTP processesMar 2026 · github.com · ▲113

  QuickBEAM is a JavaScript runtime embedded inside the Erlang/OTP VM. If you’re building a full-stack app, JavaScript tends to leak in anyway — frontend, SSR, or third-party code. QuickBEAM runs that JavaScript inside OTP supervision trees. Each runtime is a process with a `Beam` global that can: - call Elixir code - send/receive messages - spawn and monitor processes - inspect runtime/system state It also provides browser-style APIs backed by OTP/native primitives (fetch, WebSocket, Worker, BroadcastChannel, localStorage, native DOM, etc.). This makes it usable for: - SSR…

  Visual flow-based programming for Erlang, inspired by Node-RED2025 · github.com · ▲243

  Hi There, Erlang-RED has been my project for the last couple of months and I would love to get some feedback from the HN community. The idea is to take advantage of Erlangs message passing and low overhead processes to have true concurrency in Node-RED flows. Plus also to bring low-code visual flow-based programming to Erlang.

  Jaws – a JavaScript to WASM ahead-of-time compiler2024 · github.com · ▲290

  I've open sourced a JavaScript to WASM compiler. It's an experimental tool, but given the semantics I already implemented, I'm fairly certain I am able to eventually cover 100% of JavaScript spec. Any ideas, questions or critique welcomed! If you are interested in WASM, especially with new proposals like WASM GC or exception handling, it might be a good source of seeing these features in action - the project has a few thousand lines of hand written WAT so far.

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
