Of course, Erlang's runtime system is written in (fine-tuned,
hand-optimized) C...

I have always considered EPICS record support, channel access, and

the related code to /be/ a "fine-tuned, hand-optimized run-time

system." That's where the hard work has gone. Other than the

process routines, there is not much other code needed.

We already have what Erlang--or any other language+runtime with the

same qualities--would bring to the table.
