Curious how this differs from Lumen? I guess it’s not aiming for actual ability to target Lunatic with BEAM languages, but that seems like a disadvantage rather than an advantage, so curious what the advantages are? I guess focus on integration/OS like services perhaps?

We have different goals from Lumen. Lumen is bringing BEAM languages to WebAssembly by running the whole Erlang runtime inside a WebAssembly instance. Lunatic is bringing the concepts of Erlang (fault tolerance & concurrency) to other languages. We are using WebAssembly instances as a replacement for Erlang’s processes. This gives us even stronger per process isolation.
