Curious, how is Pony's GC superior to Erlang? Erlang's GC is already pretty quick (since the heaps are very small).

- doublec 10y agoThere's a thread here from a previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9483071 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9483071 One nice thing about the Pony GC is it can GC actors that are waiting for messages but will never receive one. In some other languages I've used I end up with processes idling in a receive on channel living forever but never able to exit because nothing is going to put a message in the channel.
