No, as InstanbulJS is ECMAScript specific. There is no “general purpose” coverage analysis tool, as this kind of metric is highly language/platform dependant.

You can check out [`cover`](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/cover.html) module to see what you can get out of it. As far as I know this is only coverage tool available.
