Can you provide any citations for the BEAM runtime being unoptimised? In my experience it has been very carefully optimised over many years, generally prioritising latency over throughput.
- rurban 4y agoCitations? I've looked at it, being maintainer of several fast and slow VM's by myself. I don't see careful optimizations, it's rather sloppy. More like perl and python, unlike lua, php or v8.
- weego 4y agoIt's widely known that it's IO focused and unoptimised around say maths use cases as it was built to be a zero maintenance telecoms platform
