In Elixir/Erlang there is no global pausing for garbage collection, instead each process is individual garbage collected. And I remember hearing about a strategy that allows you to avoid it entirely by ensuring your process's lifetime is short enough (or heap size big enough) that it basically never happens despite the BEAM (Erlang VM) running with garbage collection. Edit: my point is that it is likely avoidable through certain coding practices in garbage collected environments.
