Originally BEAM was short for Bogdan's Erlang Abstract Machine, named after Bogumil "Bogdan" Hausman, who wrote the original version, but the name may also be referred to as Björn's Erlang Abstract Machine, after Björn Gustavsson, who wrote and maintains the current version. [1] [5] [6] Both developers worked on the system while at Ericsson ...

His goals were to enable higher extensibility and productivity in the Erlang VM while maintaining compatibility with Erlang's ecosystem. [10] [11] Elixir is aimed at large-scale sites and apps. It uses features of Ruby, Erlang, and Clojure to develop a high-concurrency and low-latency language. It was designed to handle large data volumes.
CEAN is an acronym for the Comprehensive Erlang Archive Network. It follows the tradition of the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) and the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN).
Implementation in Erlang confers an efficiency benefit because of the use of a single virtual machine throughout an application. LYME makes use of this, since the Yaws web server is also implemented in Erlang. Address space is shared (although safely so, under Erlang) between code and data, including Mnesia's table data.
