I think the closest in wide use is probably Go.

The BEAM is set up for "Erlang like languages" (or maybe it's the other way around). Writing Elixir, still feels a lot like Erlang because of the underlying semantics of how it operates. Even Gleam is closer to Erlang than anything else once you get past the types.

Go also has goroutines/green threads/Erlang-like processes as a core primitive for its parallelism. it doesn't have the same "opinion" about how to structure a concurrent application that you get from OTP though.
