I'm not writing a language on top of another language. I'm writing a scripting language that compiles down into the expected bytecode for the VM. I don't lose any of the functionality of Erlang, but I get all of the benefits of the scripting language.
And yes, I did know that lighting took the longest, and it is much quicker to load a completely finished chunk from disk. However, I wanted to see how little could be stored on disk without compromising visible performance on the client's end, and I felt that Erlang would be the best place to test this due to its threading system.
Believe me, this is just a project to satisfy my own curiosity. And who knows, it may develop into a sister server for MCServer, but I highly doubt it.
Plus, Erlang is awesome.
