Interesting idea – I don’t think it would be easy to port Erlang to Go, as it’s quite a complex C codebase, so it would make more sense, if one were so inclined, to take the Erjang approach and build an Erlang runtime from scratch in Go.

Now that Google have announced that they will be supporting Go on Google App Engine (http://blog.golang.org/2011/05/go-and-google-app-engine.html), I wonder – wouldn’t Go be a rather suitable language for implementing Erlang?

[...] Chad DePue has compared Go to Erlang, and says: “Go provides a service to the Erlang community in that it validates the fundamentals of the Erlang platform. Goroutines are equivalent to Erlang processes… and Channels to Erlang messages.” He believes the most obvious application for Go is in web infrastructure, which is apt given where it’s coming from.
