Not only does it do this all very safely, it uses the absolute most minimal of memory to achieve this. This video from 9 years ago... 1 million people in 1 chatroom, on a server with 40+ cores and 128GB of memory, one single physical server, it used up about 30 GB of memory. Show me a language that can do this efficiently. In under a second it went to a million different connections. The cores didn't spin up to grind hardcore, none of that. Just efficient lightweight processes running. This isn't even on "raw Erlang" its on Elixir -> BEAM which is impressive on its own in my eyes. I would love to see equivalent videos on similar hardware today in other languages. ;) Please by all mean, show me your JVM application that can handle this. I also love that he thinks all those languages that are a decade (and decades) younger than the BEAM which has been in production since 1992 are more production ready and tested. I don't think he realizes the origin story to Erlang whatsoever, it was 100% built to be used in production for a major telecoms provider. https://youtu.be/N4Duii6Yog0 https://youtu.be/N4Duii6Yog0
