IMO, you lose half the benefits by shimming OTP (genserver, hot-reload). Platform owners like Apple or Google could easily make Erlang processes first class citizens on their Unix(-like) platforms - one can already run full-fledged Erlang/OTP processes on Android (via Termux).

I imagine in an alternative universe were interoperability is more profitable than walled gardens, this technology exist and was standardized and not just a preserve of a few services on iDevices that can "hand-off" to each other (without process migration)
