Thanks, yours was finally the comment I was hoping for. Could you point me at the right place to read (or read about) the beam sources? I'm looking at https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Routemap-source-tree https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Routemap-source-tree -- is there something better?

You're in the right place; unfortunately there's not a lot of good documentation on the internals (although do check out erts/emulator/internal_doc ). It's much easier to dive into the source if you have something specific on your mind (like debugging a performance problem, or if you find an beam crash...). erts/emulator/beam has the most basic parts of the virtual machine -- processes, memory allocation, process switching, message passing, interfaces to the operating system (although a lot of that is in erts/emulator/drivers), etc.
