The features are not there(0) yet and it's likely to be overhauled a lot. It's an extremely exciting proposition and I both hope and think it will become a force to be reckoned with in the erlang community.

It was rough but it worked out for Rust.

BTW, there have been at least two other ML on BEAM attempts before. One experimental in the open and another unpublished one.
