- jbjohns 18y agoHave a link for this? But lightweight threading isn't all that Erlang brings to the table. It comes with an entire library designed to create extremely fault tolerant, live-upgradable, extremely concurrent systems. Getting lightweight threading of the same speed or faster is good, but it's less than 1/3 of the equation.
- njharman 18y agoFault-tolerance (uptime) is Erlang's core strength. Concurrency is just a pleasant and currently trendy side benefit.
