Lisp Flavoured Erlang (AKA LFE) is a lisp syntax front-end to the Erlang compiler. Code produced with it is compatible with "normal" Erlang code. LFE is a (proper) Lisp based on the features and limitations of the Erlang VM. LFE has many origins, depending upon whether you're looking at Lisp, Erlang, or LFE-proper. The LFE community of contributors embraces all of these and more.
