Work on the BEAM started in the 1990s, over ten years before the first release of Node in 2009.
And BEAM was the reimplementation of the Erlang runtime, the actual model is part of the language semantics which was pretty stable by the late 80s, just with a Prolog runtime way too slow for production use.
