  abstract = {In widely-used actor-based programming languages, such as Erlang, sequential execution performance is as important as scalability of concurrency. In order to improve sequential performance of Erlang, we develop Pyrlang, an Erlang virtual machine with a just-in-time (JIT) compiler by applying an existing meta-tracing JIT compiler. In this paper, we overview our implementation and present the optimization techniques for Erlang programs, most of which heavily rely on function recursion. Our preliminary evaluation showed approximately 38{\%} speedup over the standard Erlang interpreter.},
