A few days back, Robert Virding released a stable version of LFE - Lisp Flavored Erlang, a concurrent Lisp based on the features and limitations of the Erlang VM. Unlike Lisp it doesn't have global data or mutating operations. Instead it has the goodness of Lisp macros, sexprs, code-as-data together with the Erlang power of pattern matching and binary comprehensions. And the best part is that LFE hosts seamlessly with vanilla Erlang/OTP.

Erlang is getting very interesting and they have a very robust, fast and mature vm with the features that we need now as distributed computing, fault tolerance, services, cloud computing, multicore, multiple-languages, etc.

Maybe the future is not with JVM/Scala, it is Erlang.
