BEAM implementation in Golang

[halturin]

There is the idea to implement BEAM virtual machine in order to run Erlang' code within Ergo node. Here is the list of advantages:

• Run Erlang' code along with Ergo' node providing transparent interaction between the Ergo and VM processes including supervision tree
• provide embeddable BEAM VM for the projects written in Golang
• use embed package of Golang 1.16 for embedding .erl/.beam files. deployment Erlang code is going to be as easy as copy a single file to the destination host.
• enable Golang' profiler for the Erlang code, which I found incredibly useful.

any thoughts? pro/cons?

As exciting as this would be, I'm curious what scale of project this is--isn't the BEAM quite complex?

[halturin]

Yeah, it's a pretty huge task, and if this proposal reaches enough demand, I will start the development. It might be I'm gonna start it as a background activity near future.

It's a great project and I'm looking forward to it
