You may be already aware of it, but just in case, there is the Nerves project: https://nerves-project.org/

That's true. I missed that they said microcontroller and not just embedded system.

However, there is also GRiSP: https://www.grisp.org/

Check out the existing AtomVM if you've not for that use case.
