I wish someone would port Python to BEAM. I'm actually surprised there isn't a project out there, except some really old stale project called beam.py I found on github, which hasn't been worked on since 2010.
On a side note: One thing that always annoyed me about Erlanger is it's lackluster documentation, specifically browsing the docs. Amy efforts to improve that?

There's a BEAM language with Python Syntax I believe
This looks very pretty from the screenshots and kudos for throwing out out there so apparently soon in its development; I might check it out (Erlanger here) but I would really like a better idea of what this thing does or some actual docs? Download link is a .gz and the getting started page goes nowhere really? When you make tools for developers, the really important bit is communicating why this thing is useful, and…
As for network traffic, we use net_kernel module which allows to track throughput between nodes in the cluster. It doesn't rely on specifics you system.

Why would that make sense? The gains you get for free using otp and the beam vm depend heavily around language integration of vm features. Porting python to a vm it would work slowly on and would be unable to use most of, if not all of, the benefits without changing the language would give you what exactly?
"Mochi is a dynamically typed programming language for functional programming and actor-style programming. Its interpreter is written in Python3. The interpreter translates a program written in Mochi to Python3's AST / bytecode."
If all that can be done in Python 3, surely it could be ported to run on BEAM to good effect.

It's really not that hard to learn a new language. I love Python, it was the first language I truly loved, but now after over a year of writing a project in Elixir, I find the latter equally impressive, and even more elegant.
