Yes, thanks. Good link. I do live on the hardware/software frontier and always have.

I'm a big fan of Micropython, Python on bare metal. Noob question: What is the chance of an Erlang VM on bare metal?

Pretty decent chance: https://www.grisp.org/

wow, first I've heard about this. How does this differ from the Nerves project, which also boots directly into the Erlang VM?

Nerves boots into the ErlangVM, but runs on a buildroot Linux. This makes it possible to run on a wide variety of hardware, but with the associated baggage.

GRiSP uses RTEMS[0] as its base which should make its performance more predictable.
