BEAM is thevirtual machine at the core of theErlangOpen Telecom Platform (OTP).[1] BEAM is part of the ErlangRun-Time System (ERTS), which compiles Erlangsource code intobytecode, which is then executed on the BEAM.[2][3] BEAM bytecode files have the.beam file extension.[4]

Originally BEAM was short forBogdan's Erlang Abstract Machine, named after Bogumil "Bogdan" Hausman, who wrote the original version, but the name may also be referred to asBjörn's Erlang Abstract Machine, after Björn Gustavsson, who wrote and maintains the current version.[1][5][6] Both developers worked on the system while atEricsson.[7][8]

The predecessor of the BEAM was JAM (Joe's Abstract Machine), which was the first virtual machine for the Erlang language and was written byJoe Armstrong and Mike Williams in theC language.[9]

BEAM languages

[edit]

Although BEAM was created for Erlang, several other languages have been either created for it or ported to run on it. The most popular of these isElixir, which had more responses than Erlang itself in a 2023Stack Overflow developer survey.[10] Other notable examples include:

  • Clojerl,[11] a port ofClojure to BEAM
  • Cuneiform,[12] a language for large-scale scientific data analysis
  • Gleam,[13] a statically typed functional language for BEAM
  • LFE,[14] Lisp Flavored Erlang, a lisp frontend for the Erlang compiler
  • Luerl,[15]Lua on the BEAM, designed and implemented by one of the creators of Erlang
