- yawaramin 10y agoScala has a very well-regarded implementation of Erlang's actor system. I have personally seen it handle hundreds of thousands of requests spun off as lightweight threads.
- kmiroslav 10y agoThe JVM (well, Java really) has been supporting orders of magnitude of that for many years.
