LFE used to compile to core Erlang, but it now also compiles to abstract forms. https://github.com/lfe/lfe/blob/387d0aa1092bdda0ca17481869e8... https://github.com/lfe/lfe/blob/387d0aa1092bdda0ca17481869e8...

There's also LFE which is rock solid and production ready. (Lisp Flavored Erlang) https://github.com/lfe/lfe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LFE_(programming_language)

…and it maps Lisp directly to BEAM. Interestingly, LFE has a collection of Clojure-like macros ( https://github.com/rvirding/lfe/blob/develop/doc/lfe_clj.txt ).

I haven't looked at it in a while, but you might check out Robert Virding's Lisp Flavored Erlang at https://github.com/rvirding/lfe . He's definitely familiar with Erlang as IIRC he was one of the original authors.
