I think that's going to be hard to find, depending on your definition of 'regular', tbh.

The BEAM's grown up along with Erlang and so the culture and optimisations are built up all around function application, list processing, recursion, and pattern matching etc.

https://github.com/llaisdy/beam_languages is a decent list of the diverse languages that have been implemented on it, but nothing quite like 'regular for and while loops'.

The BEAM itself is a plain aul register machine though, so it could be done!
